Wildflowers are enticing treasures for wilderness lovers each spring. They sprinkle wild landscapes with color and send subtle fragrances into the nearby air. Get outside this spring and see what you can find.
Find fleeting beauties of spring with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) weekly woodland wildflower bloom report.
Just like the weather, wildflowers can be unpredictable. Visit the Woodland Wildflower Report webpage for an up-to-date list of wildflowers in bloom each week until mid-May. You can sign up to receive weekly wildflower bloom reports in your inbox.
Early spring wildflowers are commonly called ephemerals, which means “short-lived.” Their dazzling show of spring color is only a limited engagement, so take time to see the flowers before they are gone.
