What is happening on the trails during this first week of February? The late winter bloomers have restarted their flowering as the temperatures have gotten back to normal.
A few new flowers have opened this week. You can see blue field-madder, leatherleaf mahonia, and shepherd’s purse out on the trails now. There are some bluet flower buds out there, too! I’ve been checking on them every day this month. How long does it take from bud to bloom? I’m trying to be patient. Maybe tomorrow will be the day.
