a native to these United States, this particular rendition of g. sempervirens was captured early March, 2007, in Mule Jail. g. sempervirens is a vine, often growing to the upper reaches of the forest canopy. this, of course, can make it difficult to photograph; thankfully not all vines chose so high a home. this plant blooms a few weeks before the trees grow there summer coats making them stand out against the stark of the forest's winter dormancy. the vine drops it flowers before they wilt making for a beautiful forest floor sprinkled with yellow.
