The wood anemones are now in full bloom and are the most striking spring bloomer in the forest. Especially on sunny days, they create a snow-white carpet of flowers beneath the still bare trees. On the plateaus, more and more blue-purple flowers of the bluebells are appearing. For many plants, the flower buds have yet to appear or bloom open. As soon as the hyacint flower stalks begin to grow and their leaves droop, they will create a beautiful blue-purple sea of flowers. The flanks of the valleys are still green, as is usual at the beginning of the flowering season. Meanwhile, lesser periwinkle and dog violet are also blooming along the edges of the paths. The most striking bloomer along the paths is lesser celandine. Just like the wood anemones, they wait for the sun in the morning to open their yellow, star-shaped flowers. A less conspicuous yellow-flowering plant that does not even produce flowers every year is Belgian gagea. As far as is known, it propagates only vegetatively via division of the bulbs. Because it blooms before getting leaves, the blackthorn stands out particularly at the edges of the forest with its beautiful white flowers.
