Many years ago, my grandmother shared her love of wildflowers with me, pointing out the blossoms half-hidden, often, under last year's leaves. We would put on old shoes and walk through the woods in Lakeside, through seasonal streams and over downed trees, to find the trillium, dog tooth violets and may apples that was sprinkled under the trees. These days, it can be more difficult to find some of these wildflowers, but it is always a treat to put on boots and walk through the woods to try to find them. I think of them as the hidden gems-- outside of the cultivated gardens, harder to find, but well worth the search! Grab your dog and a child's hand and take a walk in the woods.
