Wild Wild Woods: March 2023

3/12/2023

Spring is coming . . .

It has been a long winter with more snow/sleet/rain than usual. More snow coming this week!

On the bright side, plenty of moisture in the soil portends a great blooming season for wildflowers.

Look forward to seeing these early bloomers in a few weeks, once the snow melts.

Golden Alexanders, right, blooms in April.

Blue Flag Iris, below, blooms in May.

About this blog "Wild Wild Woods"

Through 2018, the posts on "wild wild woods" were photos taken in my bird garden and a set-aside strip of land that was the old fence row when the suburban lots in my neighborhood were farmed land. That wooded area sheltered a variety of plants and wildlife among the trees, understory, and a brushpile.

Now, my windows look out on a pond.

My new location is another former farm field that became a neighborhood. Fortunately, the wetland was preserved. It includes a pond surrounded by wildflowers, grasses, reeds, and a few trees.

I am pleased to observe and enjoy these places for birds, critters, and plants of central Minnesota.
