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.
