!!! seems it only displays well the 2nd time? ugh.
Join us on a guided walk with botanist horticulturist Bryan Connolly, to see and learn about spring ephemerals, the first native wildflowers to emerge in our woods. This walk is part of a series of programs to encourage people to post observations to the iNaturalist Wild Lyme Project. Bryan Connolly is a top expert on the app and has identified 19,215 posts.
Spring Ephemerals, such as trout lily, sessile bellwort and anenomes are able to take advantage of the sunlight in the short time after the earth warms up and before the leaves in the tree canopy open to shade the forest floor. They then disappear back into the earth as spring progresses into summer. These beautiful delicate flowers provide an early source of nectar and pollen for bees and other insects.
