DOIN' THE DOUG: Deep Woods
Wildflowers
|
The DFNM is best known for the spectacular fields
of flowers that bloom in the summer in the high prairies. But if you
hike through the woods on your way to the prairie, or just for the
joy of the hike, you may see many flowers along the trail. |
For many, the queen of the deep woods flowers is the trillium. These bloom early in the spring and the blooms do not usually last into the summer. |
and not all are white.

The margins can be quite lush. In the rocky areas along the trail, usually close to the top, you may find a mix of flowers and succulents. At the right time, the succulents will add their blooms to the mix. |
