The first wildflower hike I took this year was about 3 weeks ago on Porter’s Creek Trail

Wild Orchid

. At the time, the ground was covered in what appeared to be a carpet of tiny white flowers and so many trilliums that it was impossible to count. It was still a bit cool then and not many leaves had formed yet.

This past weekend I decided to hike Porter’s Creek Trail again to see if anything new had grown since my last trek. To my delight several different plants, including a few spectacular orchids, were in bloom.

I can’t wait until the second week of May so I can head out and try to find a pink Ladyslipper. Wish me luck
