Flat Laurel Creek – July 28, 2017

Posted on July 31, 2017 by WCBC

Lots of wildflowers (including a new one for many of us) and blueberries. Unfortunately it started raining before we got a chance to see everything the walk had to offer! Check out the Wildflower of the Week for more information on the Green Adder’ s Mouth orchid (Malaxis unifolia).
