Yet another name, but one no longer much used, was "the Son Before the
Father." People familiar with spring flowers/ autumn fruiting were confused
by seed pods in spring, followed by flowers in autumn.

Judy in New Jersey where the monsoons have returned. The silver lining is
that (off topic) it looks like this August will be another splendid season
for chanterelle mushrooms.
