Where could these flowers be blooming? Â Mt Cuba Center, in Delaware? Â Shenks Ferry wildflower preserve in Lancaster County PA? Bowmans Hill Wildflower preserve in New Hope PA? Â Morris Park? Valley Forge National Historical Park along the Schuylkill? Just to name a few places, your guess will win you a FREE Aster while supplies last, or possibly a tall coneflower, or other native wildflower, while supplies last. (details in the comment section)

If this isnt Shenks Ferry Wildflower preserve, than what other planet are we on? Â You might as well just make this your guess now and get that free aster for your own yard.

Sanguinaria canadensis and Podophyllum peltatum

This is so Morris Park, Philadelphia. Â Follow the Sanguine Root for 5 minutes and its all about the bloodroot and the mayapples 24-7, 365, a continuous stream of information about these two plants. Â So you might as well guess Morris Park so you can bag a FREE aster.

This is so much Bowmans Hill, or could it be Valley Forge? Â What kind of Maple tree would You associate with Bluebells?

This wild ginger flower is pointing straight up. Â Makes for an easy shot. Usually they are ‘shy’ and lay below the leaves along the forest floor. Â Did the word Forest just get used? Â Could this be in the Wissahickon or in Pennypack Park?
