Winter/Spring Wildflowers Blooming

The late winter/early spring wildflowers have already started blooming at the sanctuary.  It's amazing to see some of them this early, but not a big surprise due to our warm winter this year.  Here are a few pictures taken today (Feb 2, 2013):

Redbud (Circius canadensis)

Red Maple (Acer rubrum)

Violet (Viola sororia)

Carolina Jasmine  (Gelsium sempervirens)
