Love The Bright Yellow Coneflowers In My Yard On Cape Cod!

Every spring we look for some new flowers to plant in the yard to give it a little more color. Hopefully we pick ones that will stagger their blooming throughout the summer.(Click on blog link for other photo.)

I had always liked the beautiful Coneflowers that bloomed in Rocky Mountain National Park, so I thought… why not?

When we bought this Coneflower it said that they grow 3-4 feet. This one has grown to about 8 feet and is just gorgeous! It is such a treat to look out the kitchen window and see the bright yellow flowers blooming in August as most of the other flowers are starting to die off.

The Bright Orange Trumpet Creeper Wildflowers On Cape Cod.

The Trumpet Creeper wildflowers are prolific on Cape Cod now. You can see them everywhere. And, if you’re lucky, you may see a hummingbird sipping their nectar. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

I saw these at Fort Hill by the side of the road, but you can see them just about anywhere this time of the year.

 

Beautiful Yellow Tansy Wildflowers At Fort Hill On Cape Cod.

Tansy is a flowering plant with small, round, yellow button-like shaped flowers that grow in clusters on top of a long stem. They are native to Europe and Asia but are now found in North America.  (Click on blog link for other photo.)

Tansy wildflowers have a long history of medicinal uses which are very interesting to read about, as well as use as an insect repellent.

Have you ever seen a Tansy wildflower? I saw these at the lower parking lot at Fort Hill.

Butter And Eggs Wildflowers Are Blooming On Cape Cod.

The Butter and Eggs wildflowers are blooming all over Cape Cod. They are so-named because if their colors… of butter and eggs. They resemble a common Snapdragon and will bloom through September,  so you will have a good chance to see them along the roadsides and dry fields.
