Trillium Trail Monthly Update - 3 Months

Those of you who follow my blog regularly know I started this year's wildflower journey by hiking the Trillium Trail at our local Wooster Memorial Park (Spangler) daily in the hopes of finding the first trillium of the season (which I did and it was beautiful!). While doing this I also took it upon myself to photograph the trail which leads from the trillium grove to the valley every day. After the first month the change was so fascinatingly dynamic it has inspired me to continue this series monthly. Below we have images from the past three months beginning with the first.

May 9, 2016 - the trees have begun filling out, the forest floor is now covered with a great smattering of wildflowers like trillium, bishop's cap, toothwort, spring beauties, wild geranium, there are also many mayapple, berry bushes, waterleaf, and ferns to fill up the landscape.
