ANOTHER FINE DAY
LUPINES EVERYWHERE
ROADSIDE WOOD LILIES
SHINLEAFTuesday, 6:15 AM. 56 degrees, wind SW, very light. The sky has a few high, white clouds and the barometer again predicts rain.
The lupines (Lupinus perennis) are in full bloom everywhere and will be spectacular at least through next weekend. Native to our sandy areas and also historically grown by our flower farms, the exact derivation of the present populations is in doubt, but they are welcome and beautiful regardless of their origin.
The wood lily (Lilium canadense) is common along our sandy roadsides.
Shin leaf (Pyrola rotundifolia) is an attractive woodland and bog plant which grows in spreading under story colonies. In habit and habitat it is quite similar to the Canada may flower.
