What’s blooming where? Updates of flowering Metro Parks

Each warm, sunny day lately has felt like thin ice, quite literally.

Is this weather here to stay?
Can I pack away my mittens?
Is the blizzard of ’18 still pending?

But we should be taking cues from the Metro Parks and just owning the season we’re in which, despite what it feels like sometimes, is spring.

Here are some photos of Columbus Metro Parks embracing the season:

Inniswood Metro Gardens

Inniswood Gardens are beginning to take form thanks to these little Grecian windflower and hellebores blooms.

Prairie Oaks Metro Park

This Skunk cabbage at Prairie Oaks is stinky but beautiful.

It’s time to explore! Skunk cabbage is popping up all over the place at Prairie Oaks. The smelly but vibrant plants are a sight to see 📸: @614wanderer . . #cbusmetroparks #prairieoaks #skunkcabbage #nature #ohioexplored #asseenincolumbus #asseeninohio
