This morning Mae (canine companion) and I took a 2 mile walk along Wagner Road, then back through the woods on our hill trail. It wasn’t specifically a spring wildflower walk but we found enough of them to write a report.

What spring wildflowers we found

• Golden ragwort about which I wrote a blog post in 2012
• Common violets
• Spring beauties in abundance
• Bluets, my favorites – so tiny!
• Cut-leaved toothwort
• Dandelions, this is an interesting article about invasive species in a great little Ohio publication, “Farm & Dairy.”
• May-apples (not in bloom but in bud)
• Coltsfoot
• Blue phlox
• Rue anenome

Check out the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Wildflower report every week through spring. And print your own Ohio spring wildflower checklist.
