Spring Wildflowers 2012

Spring Wildflowers 2012

A walk around today looking for the spring wildflowers! It's been a strange year...a very warm winter and early spring, but it seems as though the wildflowers aren't enjoying the warmer temperatures! Early spring wildflowers, like Hepatica, began blooming in February, but they were nipped by a cold spell. Very few are blooming now. Bloodroot and Trillium seem stunted and fewer than usual. I'll keep watching. The treasure hunt is just beginning!
