first February flowers
first February flowers
February is when I'm accustomed to seeing the first flowers, often Columbia Kittentails. A little earlier than usual this year.

Re: first February flowers
I've never seen kittentails in February. But then I've only ever seen them on top of Dog Mountain, where the season is later due to the elevation.
Re: first February flowers
Saw both of these blooming at the end of January while doing trail work (grass widows at McCall Point and kittentails at the cliffs near Upper McCord Creek Falls). Snow queen is also blooming at some lower level elevations as well as toothwort, coltsfoot, and woods violets.

Re: first February flowers
Do you know which violet exactly? That common name covers a lot of ground!
Re: first February flowers
Yeah, I saw a fair number of grass widows at Syncline yesterday.
