The bright, orange Trumpet wildflowers at Fort Hill and the rest of the Cape are blooming and gorgeous. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Each flower looks like a small trumpet. They bloom on plants that grow as tall as a hedge and just as thick. Have you seen these beautiful wildflowers on the side of the road at Fort Hill?
This was such a pretty photograph at Hemenway Landing with the Queen Anne’s Lace wildflowers blooming while overlooking Nauset Marsh. Queen Anne’s Lace seems to be blooming everywhere this summer!
The Stork’s Bill wildflowers have always been one of the first of the wildflowers that bloom at Fort Hill. But this year, they are just starting to bloom. I love their hot pink color that dots the sides of the trails.
Have you seen the Stork’s Bill Wildflowers at Fort Hill?
The Spotted Wintergreen wildflowers are blooming and so pretty here on Cape Cod. They are such an interesting wildflower as they face downward while they bud and bloom and then they face up to the sun when they have finished blooming. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
They grow in the woods and bloom during July and August, so you still have plenty of time to find them.
Have you ever seen a Spotted Wintergreen wildflower? We have so many in our yard this year!
We were having a picnic breakfast at Fort Hill yesterday and were commenting that we hadn’t seen many Monarch butterflies this summer… maybe only a handful. And then this gorgeous one landed on the Milkweed plant nearby. Just beautiful…
