BLUEBELLS at Mertensia Park

 Join us on Saturday, May 7, 2022 at 10 am for a walk among the bluebells at Mertensia Park in Victor/Farmington.  We will meet under the Rotarian sign next to the tennis courts and walk north along Mudd Creek.  In addition to bluebells (mertensia), we will likely see spent trout lilies and blood root.  Violets, meadow rue, cutleaf toothwort, solomon's seal, colts foot, Jack-in-the-Pulpit and other plants will be emerging. We will meet rain or shine.  It's advisable to wear boots as stretches of the path may be wet/muddy.

 Here's what Mertensia Park looked like on April 28, 2022:

What a GORGEOUS Saturday to wander through the Mertensia on May 7th.  Here are a few images I captured:
