Potomac Heritage Trail with Bluebell flowers

I joined a bluebells hike with friends for 19 miles today, mostly flat but a lot of flowers along the Potomac Heritage Trail. Bluebell flowers, particularly Virginia bluebells, typically bloom for about 3-4 weeks in the spring, usually from late March to late May. So you still have plenty of opportunities to see them around.

Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica) are edible, including the flowers, leaves, and roots, and have been used in traditional medicine. Native Americans used the plant medicinally for pulmonary issues, tuberculosis, whooping cough, and as an antidote for poison.

BTW, one friend shared Mango Sticky Rice Soft Chewy Candy which was pretty tasty.

Plus 6.6 miles weekday run, I logged in 25.6 miles this week.
