I consider the beginning of Amelanchier to be on or about March 26. That is the day the two species bloom here, neither on this land but I consider them the beginning of the season. The first is Symplocarpus foetidus (skunk cabbage)

and the second is Corylus americana (American hazelnut).

The end of the season Amelanchier occurs when the Glechoma (ground ivy) and Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) bloom.
