I finally made it out today to look for flowers. Lots of stuff is in bloom right now. The warm weather this spring has really gotten things moving. Everything right now seems to be running about two weeks ahead of past years.
I have a special interest in our native orchids, so I was excited to see several specimens of Showy Orchis in bloom.
Water lilies are coming up pretty strongly now. The bullhead lilies are in bud, so there should be some flowers by next week.
