Coltsfoot in bloom (3-4 stems) at Belchers Marsh Park yesterday (May 15). An alien invasive but the first floral sign of spring around here.

I found out last night at the Blomidon Naturalists Society meeting that Bernard Forsythe saw blooming coltsfoot somewhere locally on March 12 this year. Cheers from Jim in Wolfville

MAR. 15, 2010 - I checked my favourite spot a bit west of Gaspereau for early blooms of coltsfoot, and, surely enough, the south-facing bank had at least a half-dozen flower-heads, which were not obvious among the tan-coloured dead? grasses. (However, someone in the Halifax area saw a few earlier flower-heads about a week ago, reported on NatureNS.)
