A vernal pool has water in the spring, but usually dries up during the summer. It provides a birthplace to polywog-like critters. A vernal pool certainly isn't a plant, but they are important to the ecology and deserve a picture!
Not all of these pictures were taken on our property in Sandwich, NH.
However all were taken in New Hampshire, and most of the species can be found on our property.

The large pine cone in the center is a sugar pine cone - the larges type of cone in the world. This was close to 10 inches in length. I found it at Heavenly Ski center in the Lake Tahoe area. After keeping the cone for thirty years I made a deal with it - I no longer had to keep it as long as I kept a picture.
