about to bust, is this maguirei> straight outta the limestone, in kinda a wet spot
*Update: I've been checking up on this guy obsessively for the last month, finally caught it full bloom. I'm updating this to the date of flowering, but photos are from 5-18 (full anthesis), 5-8 (almost in flower), and 4-28 (no petals visable). There were quite a few individuals so the full flower photos may not be exact individuals as the other photos, but the same plant nonetheless.
Thanks for staying tuned

Single non-flowering plant at a known site. Mixed conifer swamp at the base of a white cedar. Note the "pleated" aspect of the leaf when compared to Canada mayflower.
