There is a little grove of Bluebells and some other little wildflowers growing in the woods near my home. I saw them last year about this same time, but this year they seem to have spread more. They are just beautiful and such a pretty splash of color with pinks and blues and whites! (Click on blog link for other photo.)
So pretty, don’t you think?
I remember seeing this beautiful wildflower last year, the purple Spiderwort, blooming along the parking lot at the Beech Forest Trailhead, and there it was again this year.
“The three-petaled spiderwort flowers are usually blue to purple, but may also be pink, white, or red. They only remain open for a day (blooming in morning hours and closing at night), but the multiple flowers will continually bloom for up to four to six weeks in summer.”
Have you seen the pretty purple Spiderworts in the parking lot?
I was so surprised to see these beautiful Solomon Seal wildflowers growing on the side of the road. I had only seen them before at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
“Solomon’s Seal is known for its graceful and arching stems, which can grow up to 2 to 4 feet in height. The plant features attractive alternate, elliptical leaves that are typically green but can sometimes have a bluish-green hue. One of the distinct characteristics of Solomon’s Seal is its delicate white or greenish-white flowers that hang underneath the arching stems.”
“Its name “Solomon’s Seal” is derived from the legend that King Solomon, known for his wisdom, used the plant’s seal-like markings on its rhizomes to create his royal seal. In various folklore and mythology, the plant is associated with protection, wisdom, and feminine energy.”
Have you ever seen a Solomon Seal wildflower?
