Fringed Gentians
Field Trip

Join us for our annual autumn wildflower walk to check the status of our Fringed Gentian patch. Fringed Gentian are an uncommon native plant with the most beautiful color of blue pigmenting delicately toothed petals. Fringed Gentian are one of the last flowers to bloom in our area. We will also see the more common Closed or Bottle Gentian. If conditions are right, Ladies Tresses, which belong to the orchid family, will be in bloom. Pray for sunshine and we will have an unforgettable display! Meet at the Bretschnieder/Audubon parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards east of Page Rd. in Aurora.
