Spring Wildflower Watch- April 11th

April 11, 2024
April is a great time to see spring ephemeral wildflowers at Blandy, so be sure to check out the woodland section of the Native Plant Trail on your next visit. Still rivers of Virginia Bluebells this week, interspersed with violet Wild Blue Phlox, bright yellow Wood Poppies and Leafy Toadshades, Bloodroots, and Mayapples. Herb Robert (not a Virginia native) appears in a few discrete patches along stone walls.
