hr_dragonflyDescription
About 30 stalks seen. Half on the ridge and half under the large Post Oak. Most still below the vegetation like purple asparagus shoots. Need about 7 to 10 days to be open and above the surrounding plants.

Pecan (Carya illinoinensis)Observer
rarecatsnakeDescription
Not 100% sure about this one, but I don't know of any other hickories that would be in this spot (maybe C. illinoinensis or C. laciniosa?). Found at Section Eight Woods Nature Preserve in Pulaski County, IL.
Definitely not a shellbark. - Matt 12/14/20
