Wildflowers at The Center

The Purple Trillium. (Walkrobin, Stinking Benjamin, Red Trillium). Mixed in with the others, I ooohed and aaahed when I came upon it.

One of my favorites, Wild Ginger.

Here is Wild Ginger's flower. Each plant has this single purple-brown flower, which hides along the soil surface.

And the beautiful Bloodroot.

Yesterday, as collage class worked, Danielle painted this "zoo picture". We guessed looking into a window at the penguin or dolphin exhibit. "Yes", she said, "that is what it says at the top".

Danielle seems to be following in Grandmom's footsteps! Beautiful. I just love seeing kids draw and hearing their enthusiasm as they tell you what it is.
