Crabtree Nature Center (Sun, 4/18/10)

Ok, I just couldn't get enough. This place isn't really known for its flowers so much as the abundance of birds that flock here each spring. However, that being said, in the spring there are a number of different native wildflowers that pop up all over the place here, starting with the ones I shot on Sunday...

This is a Virginia Bluebell (and my favorite shot of the day!)

The Virginia Bluebells start out small and rumpled up and pink, then as they mature turn into this really pretty pale blue-purple.

There are fields of them all over the place here.

This is a White Trout Lilly and it stands about 6 inches high so it was a little tricky and dirty getting these shots, but it was worth it.


This is a humble little wild violet, there are all over too, though most of them are a solid purple, I prefer the less common varigated ones.
