RE/MAX Medalta Meadow – first flower about to open. This grass is so long in this area you have to go close to see the plants.

At the Teepee more are coming up but only just pushing through the ground. This area must be much colder than other sites.

  • Although some of the blooms can be seen from the highway others are closer to the noise berm and it is ideal if you can go for a walk there.

Last year it was the third week in March that we saw the first plant up and the year before that it was February 29. So each year is different and we did have a long cold winter.
