With spring almost here, it’s a great time to prepare for getting back in touch with nature’s roots.
But don’t put off seeing now what you won’t be able to see later. Many of these delicate blooms last only a few days, with the plant going from bud to bloom to seed in just three weeks. The flowers are popping up to take advantage of the sunlight hitting the forest floor before the trees and bushes leaf out.
