A few violets, genus Viola, are blooming in the woods south of Stone Mountain. The color was a surprise after the hard freezes and big winter storm. But I’m not sure when to expect blooms in the Piedmont. I didn’t see violets until after Valentine’s Day last year.
The beeches are still holding their leaves.
At Arabia Mountain, we saw the cocoon of a Polyphemus moth along Stephenson Creek. Antheraea polyphemus is common across most of North America and is beautiful. It’s also big, with a 6-inch wingspan. I would love to see this one again in its next form.
