It’s a beautiful time of year! There are lots of wildflowers coming out in bloom. John Verbinnen, the owner of Verbinnen’s Nursery, as an amateur photographer, enjoys recording images of these native wildflowers. Here are a few images from this past week.
Salix exigua – Woolly Willow flower
There’s a beauty to early morning light that makes wildflowers even more stunning.
Bloodroot – Sanginea canadensis
These flowers come out early in the spring before the leaves show up on the trees.
Trillium grandiflorum – white trillium
Trillium grandiflorum – white trillium detail
The flowers come from a variety of habitats, including wetland species.
Caltha palustris – Marsh Marigolds
Some flowers aren’t all that colourful, but the diversity of greens in the natural environment is also beautiful.
Arisaema triphyllum – Jack-in-the-Pulpit with ferns and Solomon’s Seal on the forest floor
It’s a pleasure to enjoy these beautiful creatures, wherever they are. And you can have them too by planting them in your backyard.
