Wildflowers in the Uwharries

Yesterday a lot of wildflowers were popping out from their long winter's rest.  Just off the parking lot at the Tot Hill Trailhead for the Birkhead Wilderness Area are lots of Blood Root wildflowers.

Near the banks of the Uwharrie River at Burney Mill Rd. are blooming Trout Lillies and stunning Trillium Cuneatum wildflowers also called Sweet Betsy or Wake Robin.
