Georgia is home to some 3,500 species of native flowering plants that include trees, shrubs, wildflower­s, vines, grasses and others — a natural richness that helps make Georgia the fifth most biological­ly diverse state in the union.

There is, then, a lot to see and enjoy in the state. And to do this best, one must take a walk in the woodlands, grasslands, wetlands, mountain slopes, streamside­s or other natural environmen­ts where wildflower­s and other plants prefer to live.

Fortunatel­y, Georgia has numerous such places accessible to the public — state, county and national parks, wildlife refuges, nature centers and nature preserves — in which an amazing array of native wildflower­s can be found throughout the year. (Most of the places are open to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic.) And one of the best times of the year for a wildflower walk is now through June, when scores of native plants are blooming or in nearbloom and attracting hordes of bees, butterflie­s and other pollinator­s.

If you’re trying to decide where to go, a good guide is the book “Favorite Wildflower

LOS ANGELES — The last time director-producer Frank Marshall remembers one of his movie projects being shut down for this long was in 1983, when Harrison Ford suffered a spinal disc herniation while filming “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Ford was knocked out of commission for nearly six weeks while he recovered from the painful, stuntrelat­ed injury.

At least there was an end in sight to that delay, said Marshall, whose long list of producing credits includes such eternal classics as “Gremlins,” “The Goonies” and “Back to the Future,” as well as films in the Jason Bourne, Indiana Jones and “Jurassic Park” franchises.

There is no such clarity about when filming can restart on Marshall’s latest movie project, “Jurassic World: Dominion,” which was among the major studio production­s that shut down in March when the coronaviru­s swept the globe.

“I keep thinking and trying to compare this to something, but I have never been through anything quite like this before,” Marshall said. “I don’t think anybody has.”

During the pandemic, Marshall is directing a virtual magic show called “The Present” for the Geffen Playhouse. That production has moved forward through the use of Zoom, but the uncertaint­y facing other forms

Walks in Georgia” by Hugh and Carol Nourse. It features walks in 20 public natural areas known for exceptiona­l wildflower displays, and describes the blooms you’re likely to encounter on each walk throughout the year.

We visited one of those places last week, the Rock and Shoals Natural Area, a granitic rock outcrop near Athens in Clarke County — “a flatrock, not a dome,” as the Nourses describe the preserve. As such, it is home to several wildflower­s that favor such an unusual habitat. During our two-hour walk, for instance, we found the purple-flowered flatrock phacelia and the delicate of art and entertainm­ent remains disconcert­ing as the world economy struggles to find ways out of its virus-induced coma.

“I know there’s a future, I know we will get through this, but the big question is when,” Marshall said. He added that he is in talks about firing up production on “Jurassic World” and figuring out when it might be feasible to reopen “Diana,” the Broadway musical he is producing about the life of the British princess.

“Everybody is optimistic about getting back to what is going to be the new normal, but it’s gonna look different,” Marshall said. When it comes to film, he imagines amenities such as the craft service table will be gone, working hours will be limited, coronaviru­s testing will be ubiquitous and filming will consist of small pods of people working on specific scenes.

He also believes that teleconfer­encing is here to stay, and that many production and board meetings will be virtual in the future. blue-and-white flatrock pimpernel, which reminds me of Delft porcelain.

Perhaps the most breathtaki­ng wildflower of all, however, was the Curtiss’ milkwort, with deep pink petals and a center containing nearly every color of the rainbow.

IN THE SKY: From David Dundee, Tellus Science Museum astronomer: The moon will be full on Friday — the Strawberry Moon, as it’s sometimes called. Venus is low in the west at dusk and sets less than an hour later. Mars rises in the east four hours before sunrise. Jupiter and Saturn rise in the east around midnight.

The bottom line, Marshall said, is that everybody needs to be safe, so there must be strict guidelines in place from experts on how to make sure that’s the case.

At the time of the interview, Marshall had been sheltering in place at home in Los Angeles for going on two months. The thing he missed the most? Travel.

“I was on the go. I was back and forth,” he said of his frequent trips to New York for the musical and to London for the movie. “Being in the same place for eight weeks has really made me a bit crazy.”

His most reliable outlet for the stress of the situation has been daily walks with his dogs.

“I think it’s good to get out and get some exercise and fresh air, and get your mind off things,” he said.

And if your mask is driving you crazy while you’re outdoors, Marshall wants to let you in on a little secret: If you’re all alone, and nobody else is around, you can pull it down. He won’t tell.
