The Canada Mayflowers are blooming all over Cape Cod. They are a small woodland plant with tiny 4-petaled flowers clustered on stems like miniature bottle brushes. They only grow to about 4.”
I saw this Canada Mayflower at Fort Hill. There were many around, especially along the boardwalk on the Red Maple Swamp Trail.
So pretty and delicate, don’t you think?
The bright yellow color with a hint of orange of the Scotch Broom caught my eye the other day as I was walking to the beach.
The Scotch Broom is a stiffly branched shrub with 1″ yellow pea-shaped flowers near the end of the branches. The plant grows 3-5 feet and the flowers bloom in May and June in sandy soil.
Have you ever seen a Scotch Broom? Pretty flower, don’t you think?
If you want to see gorgeous Starwort Chickweed wildflowers, go to Fort Hill in Eastham. They are everywhere along the side of the trails in the meadows. The Star Chickweed wildflower is just magnificent, but it is so small that you might miss it or its pretty colors. As they start to go by, the pinks and golds turn dark.
So delicate and pretty, don’t you think?
