I had to post the very first flower that bloomed in my new yard here in Cape Cod which is a Rose. We planted many trees, shrubs and plants with the butterfly and bird theme, but this Rose was so pretty and reminded me of my Dad who loved Roses.
These pretty little light blue Forget-Me-Not wildflowers caught my eye when we were walking around Provincetown. They are such a small and delicate wildflower with a golden “eye.” They grow to about 15.”
I had seen many of them out in Colorado but had not seen any here on Cape Cod, so it was a big treat to see the Forget-Me-Nots again!
The wildflowers are starting to bloom all over Cape Cod. I keep seeing this pretty white one all along the sides of the roads, but I am having a hard time identifying it.
Does anyone know what kind of wildflower it is? It looks very much like a Saxifrage wildflower out in Colorado.
Bearberry shrubs are starting to bloom here on Cape Cod. Bearberry is a trailing, evergreen shrub. Its flowers are tiny white or pink bells, clustered at the branch ends. Its leaves are glossy, leathery and paddle-shaped. In the fall these little flowers will turn into little red berries.
Have you ever seen Bearberry? When we lived in Colorado, Bearberry were known as Kinnikinick. Pretty little plants…love the bell-shaped flower. What do you think?
