Hey Sarah.....you taught me something.....I was familiar with Coltsfoot as they are the first thing to bloom here.....The leaves I have seen but didn't realize what they were....thanks!

Updated September 4, 2011 to add a new photo of the mature leaves. The coltsfoot gets its name from their hoof-print shape.
