Spring Wildflowers

We went on a wildflower walk to learn the spring wildflowers that are found in Laurel Gorge and near our home site.

Click on a picture to see a larger version.
The trillium carpet was spectacular.  We saw more trillium blooms in our walk through Laurel Gorge than the total we had ever seen before.
It is only a slight exaggeration to say trillions of trilliums (apologies to Carl Sagan).

Come and visit Laurel Gorge with us.
