I went back to Mariton early this morning to see what was new in the way of wildflowers. Jack-in-th-Pulpit are all over the trails. I really love this plant. I couldn’t help but photograph almost every one I saw. I was hoping to see more birds today, but not much luck. Of course I was looking down at the flowers most of my walk so I’m sure I missed quite a few. Lots of Trillium starting to bloom along the trail. There’s a nice patch of Large White Trillium (Trillium grandiflorum) in the first quarter mile of the main trail. I spent a good portion of the morning and early after noon wandering the steep hillside, listening to the birds and searching for flowers. I’ll be back next weekend to see what’s new.
