🌸😍How lucky are we to have a sprinkling of colors on the forest floor this time of year as spring wildflowers come into bloom? This bright magenta fringed milkwort, a small orchid-like flower, can be found growing scattered among dry pine needles in moist coniferous forests. So how did it get its name? It was once believed to increase milk production when fed to cows. #ausablecenter #wildflowers #spring #adirondacks #adks #forests (fb)
