What Matters Warren - Memorial Day
What Matters Warren
Memorial Day ...Let's Remember
There are many ways throughout the year people honor those who served our country. This video has clips from a Civil War Re-enactment that took place here in Front Royal a few weeks ago. Many of these reenactors participate in these events as a way to honor their family members who served as soldiers in the war. Let’s all take a moment today to pause and REMEMBER all veterans who are no longer with us and give gratitude to all who have sacrificed for our country.

Trillium Flowers in Full Bloom in Warren County
What Matters Warren
Trillium Flowers are in BLOOM!
Each year in Warren County we are blessed with a unique event as nature in our area begins to wake up and come alive for Spring. We have special flowers that bloom and attract visitors from all around! Trilliums! Beth and I were fortunate enough to be at Fox Meadow Winery yesterday and got the inside scoop that NOW is the time to explore and catch them in action! Here is some footage from our exploration of Blue Mountain and the G R Thompson State Wildlife Management Area!
For more detailed information, click the following links about Trillium. Learn where to find them and facts about the plant. As of today (4/25) they are in the very light pink stage on the top of the mountain. Further down the mountain we found some that were a darker purple.
http://www.sceniccaves.com/trilliums-now-in-full-bloom/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_grandiflorum
"One form of the plant, T. grandiflorum f. roseum, opens with light pink petals instead of the common white. It is generally found very rarely throughout the range, but in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia is can be found somewhat frequently in mixed or sometimes pure colonies.[6] It should be noted that the white flowers of the common pure white variety of T. grandiflorum turn a very distinctive pink and remain so for several days just prior to the wilting of the flowers. Plants bearing these pink flowers are often mistaken for a "pink variety" of trillium."[9] - wikipedia.com
Explore the following link to be directed to our trail system here in Warren County. Might be a great way to experience these beautiful flowers in full bloom this weekend!
