I spent a marvelous couple of hours this afternoon looking for signs of spring with my dear friend Sarah Crutchfield at her forest haven, The Cabin Path, in unincorporated South Fulton County. And what adventures we had! In addition to finding abundant rue anemone and hepatica in bloom, we also discovered a number of bloodroot flowers, plus a Virginia pennywort and a red trillium whose bloom had not quite opened yet. We also saw quite a number of cinnamon fern fiddleheads, and a spider’s web that caught the afternoon sunlight beautifully. My harvest from the day’s outing is posted below: hepatica and bloodroot (first row); pennywort and trillium (second row); fiddleheads and spider’s web (third row).
