Turtlehead Flowers Pop Up in the Park

9/28/2024

To me every day in Brightwood brings a new adventure. Today there was no exception.

Yesterday I was informed by Bianca of encountering a Turtlehead plant with a beautiful flower sitting at the shore of the large pond. The images in the photos Bianca shared with me were amazing, and I could not wait to go to the park to take a direct look. I am happy to report to you that in addition to the first one, several more of the plant can also be found at the bottom of the erosion area.
