The unique Water-Willow is an 3-9 foot aquatic shrub with 1/2 to 1 inch magenta flowers that blooms in July and August. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
I’ve seen them growing in the shallow waters on the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill, the Silver Spring Trail at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary in Wellfleet or at Wiley Park by the bridge. It is really cool to see how they grow in clusters along the main stem.
Have you seen any Water-Willows this summer? #eastham #wellfleet
I never knew there was a Coast Guard Beach in North Truro until I posted a blog about Coast Guard Beach a few days ago and I got a response from someone who lives in North Truro asking if this was the North Truro Coast Guard Beach. Hmmm…..
I quickly got on google and found that there was indeed a Coast Guard Beach in North Truro. Wow! I never would have known.
I was on my way up to Provincetown so, on the way home, I stopped and took a few photographs of this Coast Guard Beach. So pretty, don’t you think?
Thank you for the enlightening! And… your email made my day!
The bright orange Trumpet Creepers at Fort Hill are just spectacular this year! (Click on blog link for other photos.)
You can see in the 2nd photo how they got their name… they are shaped just like a trumpet!
They grow to be 12′ tall and bloom till September, so you still have plenty of time to see them by the side of the road going up to the overlook.
