gCome and visit our treasured fringed gentian patch. Fringed gentian are an uncommon native plant with delicately toothed petals showing an amazing hue of blue. Fringed Gentian are among the last flowers to bloom in our area. Mother Nature may add the more common closed or bottle gentian and ladies tresses (which belong to the orchid family), to our autumn jaunt. Full sunshine will create an unforgettable display! Meet at the Brettschneider/Audubon parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Rd. in Aurora.
