Wildflowers
We’ve identified close to 300 species of wildflowers so far by walking the trails and prairies of Fontenelle Forest and Neale Woods. What is a wildflower? Other than trees, shrubs, grasses, sedges, rushes and some aquatic plants, wildflowers represent the flowering plants established in the wild. To help in searching for a particular species page, the wildflowers are separated by color, and within each color category by the approximate date they first bloom. But be aware that intermediate or variable colors do occur, particularly in pink or blue species. If not readily found, check similar colors as well. Also be aware that flowering times don’t always neatly fit the time based categories we have used for white and yellow flowers because there are so many of them. So, If you don’t find your white flower you see in June be sure to check the earlier (April, May) section as well.
