It has been a fantastic week for wildflowers in our corner of the world. The warm February followed by a cold March has compressed the blooming season so that everything seems to be blooming at once. My wife and I have been out in the woods and glades every day since Monday. Here are a few from today only. 1. Wood anemone {} 2. Fringed polygala {} 3. Perfoliate bellwort {} 4. Columbine {} 5. Fire pink {} 6. Dwarf iris {}
Nice Jim! We've been getting warm afternoons, so the snow is deflating, but it will still be about a month and a half before any flowers bloom here. We now have 15 hours 20 minutes of sunshine, and it is light from 5:30 AM until 10:30 PM. We are gaining 7 minutes/day of sunlight.
Nicely captured evidence of spring new growth. I love that you name each one....not that I will remember but ...
Thanks, Mike. Thanks, Bob. My wife is a walking encyclopedia of wildflowers and she insists on naming and captioning all of our flower photos.
Thanks, Eric. Actually, it started out the other way. I got into DSLR photography back in 2005 to help her get better pictures of wildflowers.
You probably mentioned that to me earlier, Jim; in any case, the two of you constitute a formidable and admirable team.
