Field of green
Mayapples near Sinking Pond at Arnold Air Force Base, Tenn., are a herbaceous perennial plant that blooms in late May. The name is misleading because the flower appears in early May, not the “apple,” which is not related to the fruit that bears the same name. All parts of the plant, except the fruit, are poisonous. The underground stem of the mayapple has been used for a variety of medicinal purposes, originally by Native Americans and later by other settlers.
