Sunny days bring out spring flowers in Bill's Woods

Sunny skies and balmy air helped bring out buds, blossoms and blooms along the windy wild flower trail in Upper Bill's Woods. This weekend we delighted in the colors and promise of Virginia Bluebells, Bloodroot, Dutchman's Breeches, Hepatica, Rue Anemone, Trout Lily, Prairie Trillium and others. With every sunny day, the flowers should be more abundant in their splendor. Plan a walk to enjoy this precious display. Park at Picnic Point and walk up the service road. At the first fork turn left. The wildflower trail begins approximately opposite from the Heritage Oak at the top of the hill. The trail and flowers were developed and planted over many years, since 2001, by Glenda Denniston. On Mother's Day, Glenda will lead a wildflower field trip in this area. Photos Gisela Kutzbach
