Spring blooms on South Georgian Bay
With this crazy weather, wind and freezing cold in the forecast, I needed something to look forward to.
There’s also a group show coming up in March at the BMFA so I wanted to have something spring and situated here.
Considering doing a collection of sketches looking forward to the native wildflowers that will be in bloom this spring on the shores of South Georgian Bay.
Naturally that turned into a flurry of research to suss out what flowers preferred wetter environments and who bloomed in the spring months.
This is my, by no means complete, list.
Low Calamint
(Clinopodium arkansanum)
Large-leaf Avens
(Geum macrophyllum)
Goldthread, Canker-root, Yellow Snakeroot
Canada Anemone, Canada Windflower, Meadow Windflower
Prairie Blue-eyed Grass
Eastern Camas, Wild Hyacinth
Yellow Clintonia, Bluebead Lily
Canada Germander, Wood Sage
Mucronate Blue-eyed-grass, Eastern Blue-eyed-grass, Slender Blue-eyed-grass
Dwarf Lake Iris
So many beautiful blooms to look forward to.
Also I want to try to see each one of these in bloom this spring… Which is coming … Eventually.
