One of the many things we look forward to in Leelanau are the spring flowers. About this time each year my wife and I pick up the "In Bloom" flower list from the Park Headquarters and hike the Empire Bluff trail. The flowers are great this year! Do you know your flowers? Can you tell a Dutchman's breeches from a Squirrel-corn flower? Having them growing side-by-side (and a flower book in hand) made our hike this year very satisfying.
