I can’t believe there are so many wildflowers blooming here on Cape Cod at the beginning of November. We have not had a freeze yet, so maybe they are getting a 2nd lease on life! I saw many of these pretty lavender-blue Chicory wildflowers along the trails at Fort Hill.

Exquisite, don’t you think? Love the delicate pistils and stamens. Such a treat to still see such pretty colors along the trails.

I still have a few Hydrangea that are blooming and beautiful! I went out to take a photograph of the flower the other day when I noticed a large green insect on top of it. After a little research, I learned it was a Bush Katydid. I was so surprised that they were still around this time of the year.

Pretty cool, don’t you think?

The lavender Asters are blooming everywhere you look on Cape Cod. If you look on the sides of the roads or the sides of the trails, I’m sure you will see many of them!

Delicate little wildflower, don’t you think?

I have seen many wild Japanese Honeysuckle wildflowers blooming on Cape Cod this past summer… and even into the fall. They are a climbing vine with delicate, fragrant, white flowers that grow in pairs, turning yellow with age.

Another invasive plant, the Japanese Honeysuckle can smother out other plants.
