if the Eastern Redbud trees are in bloom. They are a sure sign that the deciduous trees will be covered with leaves within a couple of weeks. Redbuds grow wild in the forests of this area, but the really pretty ones with the most flowers are those cultured and sold at nursery centers.

This stream, quiet most of the time, cuts through the middle of the park.
"Wildflowers"
