When you think of flowers on Cape Cod, you always think of the Hydrangea. It grows so well near the beach with the sandy soil.
I took this photograph of one of the Hydrangeas that we planted in our yard last year. So pretty, don’t you think?

White Campion Wildflower At Fort Hill On Cape Cod
The White Campion wildflowers are blooming all over Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod. They have a whitish to pinkish flower that opens at night and on overcast days. How interesting…
The 5 petals, which are 1 to 1 1/2″, are so deeply notched that they look like 10 petals. White Campions bloom from June through August so you can still find them on roadsides , fields and open areas.
The Beautiful Monarch Butterflies Are Back On Cape Cod
The colorful Monarch butterflies are back on Cape Cod. They search for Milkweed plants to feed on which Cape Cod has plenty of. I saw this Monarch while hiking at Fort Hill in Eastham a couple of days ago.
Monarch butterflies are just beautiful with orange above with black veins and white spotted margins. Below is more of a yellow-orange color. The head and body ate black with white spots.
This Monarch was feeding on a Milkweed plant out in the field. You can see his beautiful coloring. Have you seen a Monarch this summer?
