On Sunday, botanist Boot Boutwell led fourteen enthusiastic participants through field, forest, and bog to explore late spring wildflowers. It was a picture perfect day and we all learned new natural history and identification techniques while observing myriad beautiful species! Below is just a sampling.
- Bladder Campion, Silene cucubalus
- Dragon's Mouth, Arethusa bulbosa
- Grass-Pink, Calopogon puchellus
- Blue-eyed Grass, Sisyrinchium angustifolium
- Common Milkweed with Monarch caterpillar, Asclepias syriaca
- Eileen Willard observes Dragon's Mouth closely in the bog
- A Milk Snake crosses our path
- Boot Boutwell with the group, including several photographers
