blood red sap from all of its parts.
  
Walking for Wildflowers

Darke County Parks is offering a Spring Hiking Series showcasing the Wildflowers in three of your parks.  We’ll begin at Coppess Nature Sanctuary on Thursday April 9 at Noon in search of early blooming Bloodroot.  The hiking series will then take us to Routzong Preserve on Wednesday April 29 at 6pm to witness the carpet of Large-flowered Trilliums.  Lastly, join park naturalists at Eidson Woods on Saturday May 16 at 2pm.  Puttyroot Orchid leaves are easily spotted at Eidson, but the bloom is very elusive.  Celebrate spring by walking for wildflowers.  For more information, please contact the Nature Center at 548-0165.
