| Spring Wildflowers 2010 |
|
| Spring wild flowers are offering their color and energy to the emerging spring landscape. Woodland wildflowers are hurrying to appear before the leaves, giving way to more wildflowers in the open meadows. Share your observations, including when and where you saw them, as their timing is very different from north to south, and from valleys to hilltops. |

| We hiked Mt Tom in Woodstock, VT on Saturday 24 April. It was a nice temperature and no bugs yet... Wild red columbine was blooming (I have never seen it bloom in April), lots of red trillium, bloodroot and trout lilly. We took pictures these beauties plus pics of dozens of turtles sunning themselves on logs in the Pogue (the pond on the backside of Mt Tom). A perfect and glorious day. 4/28/10

On Sunday (4/25) we saw the following in bloom or just about to bloom on an east facing slope:
Trillium, Spring Beauties, Round Leaved Hepatica, Blue Cohosh, Trout Lilies. Wild leeks are in their prime (pick only the leaves. The plants take several years to recover if bulbs are disturbed. The leaves have just as much flavor and more nutrition!. We also saw Jack-in-the-Pulpit just coming up...still inside it's sheath...Cool to see! 4/27/10

The first meadow blooms with scattered patches of daffodils Great-grandmother Anna Marie planted over 40 years ago, the ostrich fern unfurls, the apple buds struggle to open and each day the woods fade a bit more into the green haze and yet April is nearly gone. It is a pretty month and I do love it so much...and yet its beauty is so fleeting one cannot ever have the time to know it all and it fades awkwardly into memory like a lost childhood love...
