We've had a somewhat similar experience in some of the wooded areas near here as the trees have been logged repeatedly over the years. Many of the wildflowers that used to grow so abundantly are either scarce or as you said just gone. Mayflowers are the ones I really miss. There was one spot in the woods where mayflowers grew but no other place around that I know of where they grow... and that spot of mayflowers is now under a four foot pile of "brush" that was left from the last logging operation. We don't own the land so there was nothing we could do, but it is a real shame that so many of the wildflowers are dying out. Agnes, I’m so sorry.

The hepaticas are gone, the mayflowers are gone, and the wild ginger is gone, also bluetts and so many other wildflowers. They're just gone. I feel so bad about it because this is a part of this area that will probably never return.

I showed her your photographs and she was thrilled because she has not seen any for many many years. She says that you captured the essence of this simple flower with your photographs, especially the way the lone flower appears amid the dead leaves and old foliage. Great job and many thanks from both of us. My mother has told me about hepaticas but I had never seen any.

We always had hepaticas growing on the border between our yard and the woods next to our house. I remember I always used to look forward to seeing them in the spring because to me that meant that winter was over. My sisters and I always used to keep watch to see which one of us would see them first. This blog is kind of like going home. I really appreciate all the hard work you must put into it but be aware that I really mean it when I say thank you. This post brought back a lot of memories.
