Flowers of summer

 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.
