Spring flowers are popping up all over UP North. Melanie Hakala Rossi recently spotted these beauties growing on the forest floor. They come in various colors, but most common here in the Copper Country, are the blue and white variety. These are called Round-lobed Hepatica and are a spring blooming herbaceous perennial native to central and northern Europe, Asia and eastern North America. Other common names are liverleaf and liverwort. The common name comes from what some think is a similarity to the human liver, as they both have three lobes. It was thought to have medicinal properties for liver ailments long ago, but that has not been documented and it actually can be irritating to the skin or possibly poisonous if ingested. So I guess it’s just best to enjoy them in their woodsy environment.

We join Debbie Jarve for a look at Ten Foot Falls near Eagle River. She captured it running pretty fast with the spring runoff of the melting snows. Whenever we’ve stopped there, it has been a bit calmer and then you can wade or even jump in the deeper pools on a hot day to cool off. I’m not sure if there is any signage naming this falls, but locals know where it is on Eagle River. You can find it about a mile from the junction of US41 and M26 in Phoenix, off to the right.

Hepatica are so perfect they almost don't look real! Can't recall ever seeing them in the wild.

How unobservant must we be? The CC waterfall site says Ten Foot Falls can be seen from the road, but of all the times we have driven that stretch i don't recall ever seeing them! Thanks for the tour!
