March 14 - a single bloom
Post date: Mar 14, 2012 10:36:07 PM
77 degrees today- warm weather is early this year.
The woodland floor is mostly clear and dark except for a single cluster of several blooms found on a south-facing slope..... Sharp-Lobed Hepatica.
You win! First up in 2012.
The birds are migrating through and scouting nesting sites- red-tailed hawk, wild turkey, blue bird, cardinal, chickadee, sandhill crane- all a welcome sight!
