News: 10 March 2023: Wildflower Update:Brenda and Debra Graff report on Friday, 10 March, My sister and I decided to visit the park today since it is supposed to snow on Sunday. The same flowers in bloom last week are still here. But there are more bloodroot so I suspect they may at their peak right now. There was more spring beauty too but not as many as last year so I'm not sure if they are in peak yet. The buds on the dwarf larkspur are getting larger. Some of the earliest Dutchman britches are open but only a tiny fraction of what will eventually open. This colder weather (it is only mid-March yet) will probably slow down the opening of more wildflowers. The snow and freezing rain on Sunday was prbabl hard on the flowers, but they will come back. 6 March 2023: Wildflowers early: Brenda Graff, President of the New River Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society made a visit to the Park on Monday, March 6, with her sister. She reports that... In bloom was coltsfoot, bloodroot, spring beauty, toothwort, common chickweed and spice bush. Flower buds were seen on dwarf larkspur and Dutchman's britches. So they will be in bloom soon. She suggests people start checking out the flowers early this year as they seem to be in bloom earlier than usual.
