I visited College Park on May 1st and saw nearly 30 species of wildflowers on the south side of the creek. (Click here for that post.) I returned Sunday, May 3rd to visit the north side. I knew I would add at least one species to the list because I remembered a rather sizable patch of Yellow Clintonia. I found it, but only buds so far:
I’ll have to get over there this week to catch the blooming (of this AND others that are still in bud)!
I have been seeing leaves all over the place, but I also saw my first of the year Wild Geraniums:
Toothwort in bloom, and tight round buds on May Apples…
I love wild geraniums. They seem to love our woods and come up volunteer around the house where I encouage them to grow. I have never seen the clitonia though.
The wild geraniums are coming out here too. They are one of my favorite spring wildflowers.
