For some reason I seem to be just a step behind the wildflower blooms this year. One of my favorite spots for the first wildflowers is Bear Swamp, a property in Ashfield that is managed by The Trustees of Reservations. December's ice storm wreaked havoc on the place and the area is really a mess. And then it seems something comes up, from the weather to getting a migraine.
Anyway, I did finally get out and find a few stands of beautiful "Painted Trillium". Here's an image from the afternoon.

They really are beautiful, even more so in person!
Thanks for reading,

I love these things. Too bad their season is so short.
