Poland's famous Bluebell flowers nearly in full bloom
POLAND, Ohio (WKBN) — Some of Ohio's most beautiful spring flowers are right here in the Mahoning Valley, including Poland's Bluebells nearly in full bloom.
The bloom typically lasts for around three weeks, but times can vary from year to year based on weather.
Thousands of bright blue flowers are visible right now, spread out across the Bluebell Trail at Poland Municipal Forest.
The flowers thrive in floodplain areas, blooming in the spring before the leaves fully take over the trees. Experts say as many as 80,000 people come to the forest each year to see the Bluebells.
'The bluebells in Poland Forest are spectacular and one of the best displays probably in the northeastern part of Ohio,' said Lauren Schroeder, a former Youngstown State University professor.
Time is running out, as the Bluebells typically start to fade the first week of may.
