This post will show the progression of Wildflowers on one roadside during the month of March.
The winter was fairly harsh with colder weather and more snow and ice than the past few years. But when it broke and warmed up, it was all at once. And the warm weather continues, but with two days of cold weather later this week to take March out like a lion.
I've been running a couple days a week on this road becasue it has the best show of Ephremals any where I know. Today, I got a 11 mile run in and wildflowers are enar Peak, in fact Hepatica is gone in some places and Purple Trillium is starting to fade. But so far there has been no White Trillium, Squirrel Corn or Drawf Ginsang and Bluebells are just starting as is Drawf Larkspur. I am making a video which I will link to soon.
