Hiking Human Western New York Wildflower Guide

Western New York Wildflower Guide



I am not a botanist, just a hiker with an appreciation for wildlfowers as I find them on my jaunts. My interest was grown especially since I started taking kids outdoors. Their slower pace and ability to find wonder in a random flower petal, caused me to really appreciate the small things that pop open on the forest floor.



If you have a wildflower picture you’d like to feature here, email it to me along with where you found it and a description.
