I am retiring from leading the Monday Wild Flower Walks.
For a variety of reasons, I have decided after 38 season to stop leading wild flower walks.
Thanks to everyone over the years that have come out to both learn and to share observations and knowledge.
I will continue to update this webpage with my observations but will probably not do it as often as I have done in former years. (Already this past season I have let weeks pass by without updates.)

Photos and Information from Ron Hepworth
Ron passed away on Tuesday, September 4th, 2012. Because he kept records of early and peak blooming times for nearly 30 years and then passed along his summaries to me for this site, I plan on leaving his last summary here. Below is a small sample of what the whole summary looks like:
