Aman Park west of Grand Rapids off Lake Michigan Drive is a hotbed for wildflowers each spring. Beginning with the round-lobed hepaticas and spring beauties which emerge in late March, a procession occurs with other species that follow -- violets, dutchman's breeches, bloodroot, and countless others. By early May, the forest floor is carpeted with large-flowered trillium and Virginia Bluebell. It is a spectacle that rivals the peak of fall color in many places. Also blooming along the creek beds by mid May are redbud trees. This image captures both a trillium and redbud in full bloom with a double exposure.
