02/16/2009 The Pocket

OK, maybe I can be a little obsessive with some things.  It was cold, but Sam agreed to run down to The Pocket with me so I wouldn’t miss something at its early stages.  I’m really hoping to get photos of most of the wildflowers at The Pocket at several different stages in their development.  It had only been a few days, but things had changed.

It was more of the same, for the most part, but a lot more.  The Trailing Trillium were everywhere.    Sprinkles of Harbinger of Spring were wherever you gazed.   The Toothwort were about half bud and half open flower (as much as these mostly nodding, bell-shaped flowers open.)  Hepatica in white were everywhere, with several clusters of them in their light blue variation, and we even spotted a couple of deep purple Hepatica blossoms.
