    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
    _D729603-XL.


    3. Perfoliate bellwort
    _D729612-XL.


    4. Columbine
    _D729616-XL.


    5. Fire pink
    _D729628-XL.


    6. Dwarf iris
    _D729615-XL.

    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.

    Thanks, Steve. You have beautiful scenery up there, but I'm glad our growing season is a bit longer.:)

    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.
