In Arcadia it takes a long time for spring to come, but when it arrives it comes in style. The forest floor, which just weeks before was covered in snow, erupts in green shoots -that soon become an array of wild flowers. This year, spring is going to be later than normal due to a winter that set records for both snow and cold temps, so in order to give us all a much needed taste of spring here are some pictures of spring flowers found near Camp Arcadia. See if you can match up the pictures (with the letter) with the correct names below. The answers are at the bottom.
