Wildflower Walk with East Granby Land Trust

I was afraid the Wildflower Walk with the East Granby Land Trust might be canceled due to rain, but we lucked out.  I met the group in the East Granby Senior Center parking lot.  We started off by walking behind the Center and over toward the elementary school.  There is a little path there and a bridge over the wet areas.

Wood Anemone (Anemone quinquefolia)

Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris)

Some kind of grass - no idea.  Pretty though.

Canada goose and beaver lodge at pond near senior center.

After spending a few minutes in this area, we headed over to the Metacomet Trail on Route 189 north of Tarrifville.

Persicaria without flowers.

Violet of some kind.

Spring Beauty (Claytonia viginica)

Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum)

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)

Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum)

Toothwort? Although, I don't remember that name coming up.

Purple Trillium (Trillium erectum)

A look at the Farmington River as it flows through Tarrifville Gorge.

This was a nice, informative hike.  Now, I just have to try and remember what I learned!

Thanks, East Granby Land Trust!
