With the temperature headed for one hundred today, early morning was the only time for a short hike and yesterday’s post on Jomegat’s Weblog reminded me that the Pipsissewa are starting to bloom, an event I would hate to miss. The wildflowers don’t mind the heat, especially along a wooded canyon trail. There were other flowers in bloom as well.
Another trip to the home of the “whuzzit” last night yielded no new clues to its identity, but as with every wander in the forest there were other photo ops.
Twinflower, Linnaea borealis
One-leaved Foamflower, Tiarella unifoliata
Self-heal; just starting to bloom
Spotted Coralroot, Corallorhiza maculata
Green Wintergreen, Green-flowered Wintergreen, pyrola chlorantha
