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.
The unique Indian Pipe wildflowers are blooming all along the Beech Forest Trail in Provincetown. They are such an interesting wildflower. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Indian Pipe, a whitish, waxy, scaly wildflower with nodding bell-shaped flowers, is a plant with no chlorophyll which is why it is not green. It gets its nutrients from decaying matter. The flowers are about 1″ while the plant grows from 4-10 inches in the rich woods.
Have you ever seen an Indian Pipe wildflower? Such an interesting wildflower…
