Spring wildflowers
Leif has a new article posted in the library. Here’s the first paragraph:
Spring is busting out all over. Tree leaves are emerging or already out and rapidly expanding to full size. Spring wild flowers of the deciduous forest will soon be completing the last portion of their yearly growth cycle in heavy shade as the maturing forest canopy closes out most sunlight that during April was able to filter through bare branches to the forest floor. Even at the height of the incredible spring growth flush of a Minnesota landscape, the earliest of spring ephemeral wildflowers are beginning to wind down.
Leif’s articles appear in the Wednesday edition of the Northfield News, in the Farm and Garden section, just behind the sports page. All his previous articles are archived in our web library, going back to 2001.
