Fringed Gentians
Field Trip

These beauties are among the last wildflowers to bloom of the season but well worth the wait. There are several species of Gentians in our area but the Fringed Gentian is an unusual and fabulous one. Also in bloom will be Closed or Bottle Gentian, Ladies Tresses, Great Lobelia, Wingstem, Goldenrod and Aster. Join us for a fall wildflower hike and you will be amazed at the color and bounty of autumn! Meet at the Bretschnieder parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Rd. in Aurora.
