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.”
The pink Lady’s Slipper wildflowers are blooming here on Cape Cod and are so delicate and pretty. I’ve seen them along the trails on a lot of hikes, as well as in our back yard!
“Pink Lady’s Slipper is a large, showy wildflower belonging to the orchid family. Its flower is magenta to whitish-pink; sometimes the whitish pink flowers will have darker pink venation. This plant grows 6 to 15 inches tall and flowers generally between May and July.”

Scarlet Pimpernel, tiny, bright reddish-orange wildflowers, are blooming along the trails at Fort Hill. They are just beautiful and grow in large clumps that you can see in the 2nd photograph. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Did you know that the Scarlet Pimpernel flowers open only when the sun shines, and even close in overcast conditions?
Have you see the Scarlet Pimpernel this year?
