Midweek afternoon stroll along the Wincopin red trail in the company of Master Gardener Ann Coran, who invited us on a spring wildflower hunt.
Photo above taken from the ridge between the Middle Patuxent and Little Patuxent rivers, close to the confluence of both.
While pulling invasive garlic mustard along the trail, Ann drew our attention to numerous native ephemeral spring wildflowers. Above: Spring beauty (Claytonia virginica)
