Tens of thousands of Virginia bluebells are bursting into bloom at Aullwood Garden MetroPark. The spring perennials are the progeny of 250 plants originally purchased by Marie and John Aull. Marie Aull was considered the godmother of environmental movement in southwestern Ohio, according to Five Rivers MetroParks. She donated her garden retreat in the late 1970s for the public to enjoy. The 35-acre park, 955 Aullwood Rd., flowers most of the seasons of the year. LISA POWELL / STAFF
