Day 117: A detour onto an overgrown and muddy side trail turned up an interesting find today: a patch of snowdrops covering approximately ten square feet, densely packed in a central area and otherwise randomly dispersed amid moss and normal forest debris. My guess is that they are "volunteers," transported to their present location when a local homeowner cleared them out of a garden. Daffodils and narcissi are often dispersed in this fashion, so why not snowdrops? Since they are a non-native plant and are growing in what should be a "natural" area, I will feel no pangs of conscience when I return to the site with a trowel and a bag next autumn.
