Nothing says nature like the unexpected flash of wildflowers. Sometimes shy and sometimes bold these intrepid "dis-players" make reproductive bids at differing times during the season.
The most secretive wildflowers are the spring ephemerals which burst into
bloom before trees fully leaf and then are gone - flowers and leaves
together - until next season. Trout Lilies and Spring Beauties are an excellent introduction to the breed.
