Wildflowers, Blackflies and Fiddleheads
We have had a few sunny warm days and spring is progressing rapidly. Many of the woodland wildflowers are wasting no time blooming to take advantage of the full sunlight on the forest floor. It won’t be long until the leaves pop and shade everything with full summer growth. Already the poplars and birches are sporting small bright green leaves. I see the buds of the beeches are swollen and very close to opening.
