These grow on the LeFever's corner lot of Ben Gay Rd and LeFever
Street and on our Russell St lots.

I figure, from the size of this plant the rosettes probably appeared in the last
week of February. |

The first 12 photos were taken in the middle of March. |

The ground is on a 3% grade, alkaline, in a wash-like terrain and loose from
overwinter heaving. |
