April showers bring May flowers

Well, April showers also bring April flowers. Here are some wildflower photos from Brukner Nature Center, west of Troy. These were taken at the end of April. We need to go on another walk soon to see what May has brought us.

These are Virginia bluebells ... I know, I know - we're not in Virginia!

In Calif., we're used to wild yellow violets called Johnny Jump-ups. In the east, there are many kinds of wild violets.
