I was so surprised to see a Wild Geranium here on Cape Cod as I was taking a walk along the trail. I did not know that they grew here. I had seen them many times out west as they grow abundantly along the trails.
Pretty flower, don’t you think? I love the vibrant color!
The purple Periwinkles are blooming and so pretty here on Cape Cod. They are part of the Vinca family are are also known as “Running Myrtle.”
Periwinkles grow to about 6″ and are considered a creeping evergreen. Their flowers are about 1″ and pinwheel-like purplish-blue with a white star in the center.
The wildflowers are starting to bloom here on Cape Cod and are gorgeous! I loved this photograph of Stout Blue-Eyed Grass that I saw on one of my walks.
Stout Blue-Eyed Grass usually blooms in May and June so it is somewhat early this year. Its flowers have 6 pointed petals and yellow centers. Thin bladelike leaves rise from the base. It is native to the area.
Have you ever seen Stout Blue-Eyed Grass? Pretty, don’t you think?
