Fringed Gentians
(Field Trip)

These beauties are among the last 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 one. Also in bloom will be Closed or Bottle Gentian, Ladies Tresses, Great Lobelia, Wingstem, Goldenrod and Aster. Join us for a fall wild flower hike to be amazed at the late season color and bounty of late summer/early autumn. Meet at the Bretschnieder parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Rd. in Aurora.
