Wildflower

The Crested Butte Wildflower Festival is an annual 10-day Festival offering over 200 workshops in wildflower expertise each July, be it painting, pollination, photography, culinary arts, or leading hikes into the wild beyond in the heart of the Wildflower Capital of Colorado, Crested Butte. Our 501(c)3 nonprofit organization was founded in 1986 to celebrate the beauty of the montane and alpine wildflower environments in and around the Gunnison Valley. Today we continue to advocate for the preservation and appreciation of wildflowers and instill both awareness and admiration of our interdependence with our natural wildflower habitats through our events.

The N.C. Department of Transportation Wildflower Program began in 1985 as an integral part of highway beautification. Wildflower beds are installed and maintained across the state by Roadside Environmental personnel in each of the 14 highway divisions. Many of these beds are marked by NCDOT's wildflower sign.

NCDOT has published a booklet to identify the wildflowers planted by the Department as well as some naturally occurring ones. In addition to colorful photos of the various wildflowers, the booklet contains suggested seeding recommendations for homeowners and the installation techniques used by Roadside Environmental personnel on large acreages.

Spring wildflowers are at the heart of Shenandoah National Park's 37th annual Wildflower Weekend celebration! Guided hikes and programs will focus on the diversity and importance of not only hundreds of species of flowering plants that are protected by the park, but other seasonal changes as well.

Look for trillium, jack-in-the-pulpit, and more along this trail that never fails to delight wildflower lovers. 2 miles. Elevation change: about 400 ft. Meet at Milam Gap parking (mile 52.4). Kristin Zimet and Mitzi Fox, Guest Naturalists

Listen and look for cerulean warblers, scarlet tanagers, and other migrants near the spring and surrounding woods. You might discover a few wildflowers along the way. Easy -1-mile stroll. Bring binoculars. Meet at Pocosin Cabin parking (unmarked, mile 59.5, east side of Skyline Drive). Limited parking. Alan Williams, Park Ecologist

Hike the Appalachian Trail through patches of trillium and other wildflowers to the summit of Hightop Mountain and a terrific view. 3 miles. Elevation change: about 935 ft. Meet at Hightop Mountain parking (mile 66.7). Limited Parking. Mara Meisel, Guest Naturalist

As with grasses, Wildflower Program initiatives strive to establish roadsides that blend into their surroundings. The grasses and wildflowers also help to conserve water, control erosion, and provide a habitat for wildlife in all the natural regions of Texas.

Shortly after the Texas Highway Department was organized in 1917, officials noted that wildflowers were among the first vegetation to reappear at roadside cuts and fills. In 1932, the Texas Highway Department hired Jac Gubbels, its first landscape architect, to maintain, preserve, and encourage wildflowers and other native plants along rights of way.

By 1934, department rules delayed all mowing, unless essential for safety, until spring and early summer wildflower seasons were over. This practice has stayed in place for more than 60 years and has expanded into today's full-scale vegetation management system.

TxDOT is pleased with the attention wildflowers attract; however, we discourage picture-taking that damages the flowers. If too many wildflowers are trampled, they will die and not go to seed. Since many of these flowers are annuals, this means they have to go to seed to come back the next year. Naturally, we discourage picking the flowers for the same reason.

This garden is a centerpiece of Cornell Botanic Gardens' native plant education program and is known for its exceptional diversity of early spring blooming wildflowers such as skunk cabbage, trout lily, marsh marigold, and trillium that take advantage of the sunlight and warmth provided by the still-bare tree canopy. It is also an excellent spot for birding.

The Mundy Wildflower Garden is also an excellent location for school field trips, research, and field-based courses, where it provides a first-class outdoor classroom. As a partner in the Kids Discover the Trail Program, the Cornell Botanic Gardens' Wildflower Explorations Program instructs every Ithaca 3rd grade student about plant reproduction, adaptation, and wildflower identification, while fostering a better appreciation of our natural world.

A study by scientists at The Nature Conservancy in Wyoming has found that many of the wildflowers and other plants in the Greater Yellowstone are blooming and bearing fruit nearly three weeks earlier than they did in the 1970s due to the changing climate. And those changes could be critical to the wildlife that depend on them for survival.

The native wildflowers and some grasses provide a gorgeous display of color from spring to fall. Designed for upland sites with well-drained soils and full sun to semi-shaded areas; ideal for attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Mix formulations are subject to change without notice depending on the availability of existing and new products. While the formula may change, the guiding philosophy and function of the mix will not.

The peak wildflower viewing period is hard to predict because so much is dependent on the weather. With all the heavy rains that we have seen this fall we are anticipating a wonderful showing of flowers this spring.

Join the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum as we celebrate Wildflower Week, June 5-11. We'll join other statewide organizations to shine the spotlight on the beauty and resilience of our state's wildflowers.

Ashland: Wildflower week is June 5-11, but Mahoney State Park will be celebrating all month long with Wildflower Wednesdays, every Wednesday in June from 1-2:30pm. Meet in front of the Activity Center and look for the orange Nature Program flag. Each week park naturalists will lead wildflower-themed activities and guided hikes to find flowers in the park. A park entry permit is required to enter the park and there is no fee for the program. For more information, contact Kelly Ekue 402-332-5022, kelly.ekue@nebraska.gov or visit the Nebraska Game & Parks Outdoor Calendar.

Kimball:, There will be a guided wildflower hike on the native prairie of the EJE Ranch south of Kimball. The tour will begin with a 10 a.m. meet-up at the High Point Welcome Center (204 South Kimball Boulevard) just south of I-80 Exit 20 at the I-80/Highway 71 junction. At 10:30 a.m. the tour will caravan approximately 2-4 miles on paved and county roads to the hike site. Attendees should wear sturdy shoes and consider using sunscreen and/or insect repellent. Native prairie is uneven ground and the hike includes a few challenging slopes. For more information email the Welcome Center at visit@kimballcountyne.us, call 308-241-0573, or email Shaun Evertson at shonny61@gmail.com.

After the Creston Rest Stop the 80 mile riders, turn right onto Highway 229 to Highway 41 where they turn right across the bridge and then immediately right onto La Panza Road for a long gradual climb. From the high point La Panza descends to Highway 58 where riders turn left onto 58 and proceed to the Shell Creek intersection. Turn left onto Shell Creek Road and the Rest Stop. This is where the most beautiful display of wildflowers can be seen if we get appropriate rain.

As demand for the expansion of Glenwood Park grew, a new development gave the park one of its signature features, a unique wildflower garden that is cherished still. In early 1907 Eloise Butler, John Greer and others petitioned the park board for space in Glenwood Park to establish a botanical garden. The park board granted the request and set aside three acres of bog, meadow and hillside for the Wild Botanical Garden, the first public wildflower garden in the United States. The board also allocated a modest sum for paths and fencing of the area and on April 27, 1907 announced that the garden had opened.

1970s: Dutch Elm Disease and drought take their toll on shade-giving elms. As a result the garden becomes sunnier, the bog drier and wildflowers suffer. Replanting of trees and replacing wildflowers has been ongoing since the late 1970s. 17dc91bb1f
