1 Spring Flowering Native Plants of Washington, D.C. and Vicinity Presentation by Rod Simmons Ford Nature Center March 26, 2011
2 Turkey Run Park. Spring ephemerals are wildflowers of the deciduous forest that leaf out and bloom in early through midspring, are pollinated, and largely disappear before the forest canopy substantially leafs out. Extensive, intermixed colonies of these plants carpet the floor of rich, mesic forests and floodplain forests throughout the region.

9 Spring ephemerals have evolved along with other plants, animals, and microorganisms over millennia, each occupying its special niche, to form the Eastern Deciduous Forest that many of us live in the midst of. Today, many fine remnants of this once-vast forest still remain in our region, but there is also much fragmentation and disturbance, including new threats such as invasive exotic plants and insects.

12 Some species of ants harvest and plant certain other spring wildflowers in a symbiotic relationship called myrmecochory literally ant farming. They are drawn to the seeds by small protuberances called elaiosomes that contain attractive oils and possibly sugars. The ants carry the seeds, sometimes as far as 70 yards, to their nests where they eat the treat. The shell, however, is too hard to open, so the ants discard the seed proper, often in an unused tunnel in the nest. Here, amid nutrients provided by the soil and accidentally by the housekeeping ants, the seed has a much better chance of producing a plant than one does dropped on the forest floor where it may be eaten by foraging birds and rodents. - Jack Sanders, The Secret of Wildflowers: A Delightful Feast of Little-Known Facts, Folklore, and History
13 Great Falls of the Potomac River. The Fall Line is a zone of transition between the Coastal Plain and Piedmont physiographic provinces, where the hard, crystalline bedrock of the Piedmont descends under the soft sediments of the Coastal Plain, giving rise to numerous falls and rapids.
