Tendrils of Wild Cucumber (Marah fabaceus) celebrate spring!
Spring has sprung!
Today is the vernal equinox - it's officially spring in the northern hemisphere, and autumn south of the equator.
My photo for the event shows two tendrils of <b>Wild Cucumber</b> (<i>Marah fabaceus</i>) in the <i>Cucurbitaceae</i> plant family - with flowers in the background - reaching out for a branch of native <b>Chamise</b> (<i>Adenostoma fasciculatum</i>) in the <i>Rosaceae</i> plant family. I wonder which tendril came first? (Santa Ynez Valley, 15 March 2010)
(My visual pun probably won't survive Google Translate!)

MYKOLOGOS is a group site for photos of mushrooms, fungi, molds, lichens, slime molds, bacterial mats, algae - all those non-flowering plants that don`t follow the usual rules. I figure ferns are marginal unless they show their sporangia.
