The spring ephemeral season is mostly over but the season of wildflowers in Vermont is just beginning.I remember when Allyn and I first came to Vermont back in the early 70's, actually before we were married. It was the wildflowers that made the biggest impact on me. Growing up in California, I had never seen anything like it.
Common fleabane
Buttercups
Golden Alexander
Dames Rocket
Celandine
Forget-me-not
All these wildflowers have a different quality. They are the flowers of summer. They are not found in forests, but along roadsides and in pastures. Many of them last all summer long rather than just for a few weeks.
