Parading out of snowbanks, they camne. Popping up from leaf- covcrcd foxholes, they ap- pear. Leaning, almaost in unîson, thcy seem ta fallow the sun; cas, by morn, west past noan. Somne plump, others skinny. Like, artillery fire, initial bursts of purple and yellow rivet attention. Soon, the diorama will blaze with colour. The tiny soldiers arc, of course, the rising buds of crocus, trillium, leck and cal- tsfoot. In short order, thcy'l be followcd by bloodroot, wild ginger, hepatica and a, hast of other perennials. Specially adapted ta forest life, they grab a hcad start. For, theirs is a uniquely warm world in early spring. Like aIl habitats, forests are constantly fed from deep within the carth - scicntists cail it the geothermal flux. But unlike most habitats, the mulchied humus souls of forests are fantastically adcpt at holding and even produc- ,ing more heat, through in- calculable numbers of microscopic- organisms. Blankctted all wiiter by bath a thick layer of dead leaves and snow's insulating mantde, the forcst floor freezes shallowly, if at ail. Even as the heat flux continues ta nibblc at mcadows' deep frost, it is already nurturing forest wildflowcrs. But the sun's rays arc at work, too. Shetered from heat-stripping winds by the maze of trunks and shrubs, the forcst floor converts ight ta heat, warîning quickly. Even as the trectops still freeze and thaw nightly, the floor is alrcady a balmy world unto its own. 1 Head start establishcd, the wildflowcrs race ta grow, bloomn and rebuild their tuberous food reserves before sunlight and nutrients arc shared by the cxpanding forest canapy. lndccd, by the timne the canopy fully opens, many of aur woodland flowers will already be on their way ta dormancy. Their tlowcrs, and even vegetation, shlrivelled, they wilI paticnt]y enduire the 8-10 month wait before the wholc race begîns afresh. We'rc fortunate in On- tario, in having such a wide array of woodland wildflowers. Tagethier, they'I1 repaint aur forests with suc- cessive waves of bloom over the next 4-6 week, sonmetimes, with colourful bursts, sometimecs with spec- tacular blankets of colour. Ta everyone who will take the time ta take a 'waik; bend over and rediscover beauty long taken for grantcd, there's a world awaiting discover. Each plant offers flot o)nly beauty, -but fascinating adaptations -and life histories.
