Wildflower: A flowering plant that grows without cultivation.This is a journal of my discovery of wildflowers, which not only will provide my memory (since the biological memory is failing more and more,) but also can be a valuable record as to when certain wildflowers will be in bloom.

04/14/2010 Wildflower Status Update on The Pocket
Posted on April 15th, 2010 No commentsWork and grandkid schedule have left time only for a quick trip down to The Pocket on Wednesday evening. My primary purpose was to determine if the Bellwort down there is Large-flowered or Perfoliate (mission accomplished.) We also took a spin around the boardwalk and made a trip north of the parking area, but did not get up the horse trail toward the falls, so I’m unable to update the status of flowers found along that trail.
