I had never seen a Hairy Solomon’s Seal wildflower until I saw this one at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary on Cape Cod. I had no idea what it was!
It is really interesting in that it grows to about 24″ with 1/2″ greenish-white bell-like flowers which dangle from the leaf axils. You can see them shortly after you leave the visitor’s center in May and June.

The Canada Mayflowers are blooming on the sides of the trails at Wiley Park in Eastham on Cape Cod.
They are a small woodland plant with tiny 4-petaled white flowers clustered on stems like miniature bottle brushes. They are often form large colonies. The flowers are under 1/4″ and grow to only 3-6″ in May and June.
So tiny and delicate… Have you ever seen a Canada Mayflower?
The little white Starflowers are so pretty at Wiley Parkin Eastham on Cape Cod. You can see them on the side of the trail, usually under a pine tree in the shade.
They are delicate little flowers ( 1/2 to 3/4″) which grow with one or two flowers on the stem. Each flower has 5-9 pointed petals and 7 long yellow stamens.
They bloom in May and June so you can still get out and see them. Have you ever seen a Starflower?
I saw this tiny, little white Mouse-Ear Chickweed wildflower along the trail while hiking at at Fort Hill in Eastham on Cape Cod. It looks the same as the Mouse-Ear Chickweed in Colorado.
The plant grows to about 6-12″ with 1/2 inch flowers from May to September. I especially like the little white ring of pistils in the center. So pretty and delicate.
