Dowagiac Woods

 Dowagiac Woods April 6 2021

Marie took me south (85 miles) to Dowagiac Woods to see spring wildflowers.  It was a beautiful day, even a tad bit warm (80 Degrees).  The wildflowers were blooming and the frogs were singing.  

Hepatica is my favorite spring wildflower.  At Dowagiac Woods the ground is covered with them and Spring Beauty, Purple Cress, Dutchman's Britches, Bloodroot, Wild Ginger, Harbinger of Spring, Trout Lily, Blue-Eyed Mary, Marsh Marigold, Buttercup, Mayapple...

There are so many variations of Hepatica found here, I especially like the dark purple.

 Another fun adventure!

 It was a fun day in the woods.  I hope to go back in early May to see the trillium and bluebells in full bloom.
Thanks for stopping by.
