I was contacted over a year ago to be part of an international group that will be exhibiting in the following venues.
I am fascinated by their primordial appearance. They have three large umbrella like leaves that spread out and distinguish them from other plants. Je me fascine de leur apparence primordiale. Elles ont trois feuilles qui paraissent des parapluies ouvertes et qui se distinguent des autres plantes.
When they first emerge sometime in May, the hoods of the Jacks are a light limey green. As the plants mature over the course of the spring, their stems gradually add ruby red stripes. The insides of their hoods also mature and glow with the dark ruby red coloring as well. Quand elles émergent en mai, les capuchons des <Jack in the Pulpits> possèdent la couleur des limes. Pendant qu’elles mûrissent au printemps, peu à peu les bandes rouges se paraissent dans leurs tiges. Les intérieures des capuchons mûrissent en rougeoyant aussi.
The area of Illinois, USA, in which I live is considered an Oak savannah. Oak savannas in the Midwest are most commonly found in a climatic zone intermediate between woodland and prairie, which is often called the prairie/forest border. Illinois, l’état où j’habite aux États-Unis, se considère la savane de chêne. Les Savanes de chênes au Midwest se trouvent dans la zone climatique intermédiaire entre le bois and les prairies, qui s’appellent la bordure des prairies et des bois.
Three different kinds of Oak trees inhabit this small woodland area where I live; White Oak, Burr Oak, and Pin Oak. Everything on the floor of the woods grows out of decaying dead oak leafs. These dead oak leaves bring life back to the woodland floor each spring. The Jack in the Pulpits are but a small part of that woodland life cycle. Trois variétés de chênes habitent ce petit bois où j’habite: le chêne blanc, le chêne à gros fruits, et le chêne palustre. Toutes les plantes de la terre du bois se croissent des feuilles pourries des chênes. Chaque printemps, des feuilles mortes des chênes se renaissent la vie des plantes. Les <Jack in the Pulpits> sont une partie très petite du cycle de vie du bois
If you know anyone that will be at any of these shows I hope you will let me know.
Hi Frieda, I live near Frankfurt and it was my first visit in the Silver Valley. The Crossing Oceans quilts are located in an exhibition hall in Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines. It was wonderful, the lighting and presentation of the quilts perfect. I´m very happy to saw your quilts with my own eyes.
