The Spotted Wintergreen wildflowers are blooming and so pretty here on Cape Cod. They are such an interesting wildflower as they face downward while they bud and bloom and then they face up to the sun when they have finished blooming. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
They grow in the woods and bloom during July and August, so you still have plenty of time to find them.
Have you ever seen a Spotted Wintergreen wildflower? We have so many in our yard this year!
We were having a picnic breakfast at Fort Hill yesterday and were commenting that we hadn’t seen many Monarch butterflies this summer… maybe only a handful. And then this gorgeous one landed on the Milkweed plant nearby. Just beautiful…
This was such a pretty landscape photograph, looking out to Wellfleet Bay with the cute, little cottage in the foreground and the sailboat in the background…. and all of the Wild Roses in between.
The Dame’s Rocket wildflowers are blooming along the sides of the roads and trails here on Cape Cod. They are such a pretty wildflower.
“ Dame’s Rocket is a pollinator powerhouse, offering a smorgasbord of nectar for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. Its blooms are a beacon for these vital garden visitors, supporting biodiversity.”
