The Secret Lives of Spring Wildflowers: Section A

Mt. Cuba Center 3120 Barley Mill Rd., Hockessin, DE, United States

Skunk cabbage, bloodroot, and trout lilies are among the first signs of spring and warmer weather ahead. Spring ephemerals and wildflowers must complete part of their life cycle before the tree canopy leafs out, reducing light levels at the forest floor. These plants face many challenges including unpredictable weather and pollinator availability. Spring wildflowers have special adaptations to overcome these challenges, and intricate relationships with pollinators and seed dispersers. Learn more about these wildflowers, their life histories, and plant-insect interactions, and look for them during a guided walk in the gardens. This program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba

Cuba Center on Friday, May 3, 2024. About the Instructor: Duncan Himmelman, PhD, is the former Education Manager at Mt. Cuba Center.
