The pretty pink Crown Vetch wildflowers are blooming all over Cape Cod. I’ve seen them on the trails and on side of the roads. (Click on blog link for other photo.)
Interesting Fact: These wildflowers can be poisonous if touched.
I love seeing the new varieties of butterflies as they migrate back for the summer. This Crescent butterfly was flitting all over the place at Fort Hill looking for something to feed on. Have you seen any butterflies at Fort Hill this summer?
The Multiflora Roses are blooming everywhere on Cape Cod and are plentiful. They grow in little clusters and are so pretty. I’ve seen them on the trails at Fort Hill as well as all around our neighborhood. Have you seen any Multiflora Roses yet this year?
The boardwalk on the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill is lush with plants and wildflowers. The ferns along the boardwalk are growing and beautiful, as well as the tiny Canada Mayflowers that resemble little bottle brushes. Have you walked there lately?
