Spring Woodland Wildflowers

Spring woodland wildflowers can be found in the LaGrange County Nature Preserve surrounding Maple Wood Nature Center.

Many native woodland spring wildflowers are ephemeral, meaning "short-lived". The blooms don't last very long, so visit often during April, May, & June to enjoy their fleeting beauty.

Below are a few of the many spring woodland wildflowers you will find along the trails at Maple Wood.  Some may be great additions to your gardens!
