Many wildflowers are early this year. The lady slippers are so early, the group walk to see them at Hayes Brook has been moved up by a week. There are many just opening in our woods. And right now everything is covered with pollen, presumably from the hemlocks. We also have Clinton borealis (Liliaceae) which I hadn't seen on the property before. This one is at the head of the driveway. There is lots of Wild Sarsaparilla (Aralia nudicaulis in the Araliaceae) and the ones by the lake are already blooming. And the starflowers have started to bloom (Trientalis borealis in the Primulaceae).
