yet another kin to the devil's apple (aka mayapple)

I am so enamored of Podophyllums, all of them! This is Podophyllum pleianthum, or Chinese mayapple. Makes a fabulous umbrella for my neighbor Totoro. Wide-eyed duck prefers to stay out in the rain. (These first two photos were taken in April showers, on April 1.)
The new leaves are unbelievably glossy! (Its not wet in these last two photos. The first was taken a week ago, the last was taken yesterday.)
