Thank you, Barbara, for making me “pay up” on my promise to take you on a wildflower walk.  And thank you, Kathleen, for joining us.  I think we made quite a (digital) haul!  I’m listing only the stuff we saw blooming.  There were also leaves of things that have already bloomed, and leaves of things that have not yet bloomed!

In no particular order:

6. Another paler violet
7. One of the Yellow violets

This doesn’t count because it was berries, not flowers, but we also saw Partridge Berries and Wintergreen.
