I saw a specimen of Wister's coralroot blooming by the front walk on Monday. This is a very inconspicuous flower and hard for me to see, even in known locations. So far, the front walk is the only place I have seen it in the park. There is a fall-blooming species of coralroot that grows in the same general area and blooms in September. I also found some pink lady's slipper plants coming up. They usually bloom in early to mid May.
