One of the treasures at Elderberry and Potluck Farm (adjacent community) are the 100+ acres of beautiful woods, streams and trails between our two communities. Here is a sampling of Spring in our woods.
 |
| Little Creek - feeds the Flat River |
The wild azalea
Violets
 |
| Mountain Laurel - the buds are as beautiful as the flowers |
 |
| Oak steppers on one of our muddier trails |
 |
| Lady slipper orchid - rare and beautiful |
 |
| We have miles of hiking trails |
 |
We have several places where streams flow over rocks,
creating that beautiful sound of rushing water |
 |
| Bluets |
 |
| Coral Honeysuckle |
 |
| Lily-leaved twayblade... an orchid with a very weird name! |
 |
| Wild ginger - we rarely see the flower |
The lousewort - or a prettier name that Marj just told me - wood-betony. Marj knows all the scientific names of the flowers also - she is the person to go hiking with in the spring!
