The Butter and Eggs wildflowers, also known as Toadflax, are blooming all over Cape Cod. I saw these growing in the meadows at Fort Hill in Eastham.
Butter and Eggs are two-toned with irregularly shaped 1/2′ to 1″ flowers with spurs. They resemble a Snapdragon and bloom from July through September. Many consider this a weed, while others cultivate it for cutting.
I think Butter and Eggs is so pretty, especially when it grows so late in the season. It reminds me of Candy Corn. What do you think?
Butter and eggs sounds yummy. Toadflax? Not so much! 🙂
Ah! The power of words!
Yea, Toadflax doesn’t sound so good!
Yup, I was thinking the same. Looks like candy corn. Nice shot.
Thanks, Mike!
