Curious Blooms

A Tulip flower is blooming on the side of fallen log.

Silver Dollars bloom again this year. Silver Dollars are commonly found in Europe. Traditionally placed in wedding bouquets as good luck.

little blooms

Romantic Blue Snowdrops expand the forest floor once again this year, reminiscing the old garden by Spring Pond which Richard Sullivan Fay once grew. Snowdrops originate from Europe, and may have been planted here first in the 'new world'.

A Pussy Willow tree blossoms over the water of a little pond.

(undetermined origin of species)

The tiniest little evergreen... is really a little fern...

Skunk Cabbage, near a wetland.

Some Signs of love

Children's hand imprints are found on the ledge in these woods.

Hope these signs last forever, as the children thought when cementing their prints into stone.
