Spring Flowers

We have about one and a half acres of oak, hickory, cherry and walnut trees. The woodland floor bursts into color in the spring beginning with the white pops of bloodroot. Walking the woods every day, seeking out the next new blooms is one of life's simple pleasures. Keeping the woods free of invasive species is another story.

Each year, the plant diversity has continued to blend into a tapestry of colors and textures as each species finds its niche in this woodland landscape of a moist ravine with North-facing and South-facing slopes.
