Yessirree, the wildflowers started blooming kinda early this year. A warm late winter got them going in the first week in March, but it is looking like we will have a short cold snap this weekend. I hope the early bloomers are able to survive the surprise. Crocus, Vinca minor, Corn Speedwell, and others are braving the chilly nights to get an early start on the spring exposition. Here are some images from the first week in March from the wildflower garden in Franklin County and on Mill Mountain.
These are Common Snowdrop (Galanthus nivalis) and are located in a private Franklin County Wildflower Garden. They are early in their bloom cycle and have not yet spread their petals.
These Crocuses, (Crocus vernus), are located in a private Franklin County Wildflower Garden.
