What's Flowering - March 2022

Walking through Glenbrook ravine trail you can find 3 very nice plants showing themselves right now. 

1. Enter from the paved vehicle entrance and shortly be hit with the wonderful smell of a massive Sarcococca. 

2. Once you have found the Sarcococca right across from it you will see a less common flowering shrub, Lonicera fragrantissima. (Also find this hiding by Centennial Lodge.)

3. Continue on the upper trail and should run into Eranthis hyemalis, a pretty cool looking yellow flowering tuber. The flowers look very much like buttercup but with a collar of green around it. 

If you find these flowering beauties, be sure to share a post with us and tag @newwestrec
