Have you ever walked through the community gardens in Orleans? These 14 acres were acquired by the town of Orleans in 2011. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Putnam Farm is permanently protected open space dedicated to agriculture, passive recreation and educational programs.
It is a pretty stroll through the gardens and trails, especially this time of year when everything is in bloom.
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?
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!
