We left Hickory House last Friday, in the splendor of the spring flowering season-lilacs, highbush cranberry, dwarf iris, azalea-all scenting the air with any step outside the house. I’m sorry to be missing the emergence and growth of flowers and vegetable (spring was too slow to give me the spinach, radishes, and lettuce I anticipated before our departure), but there are compensations. In this dry plains grasslands, we saw four low blooming wildflowers, one four inch poppy type, the flower way larger than the stem and leaves, hooded phlox, a tiny yarrow like yellow one that’s fragrant, a legume like purple one, a dry lands variety of edelweiss I need a local wildflower guide!Helen
