Weekly Wildflowers – Saco Heath Preserve, Saco, ME Leave a Comment / Bog, Wayside Flowers, Woodland / By Megan / May 11, 2025 Partridge Berry, Mitchella repens, Rubiaceae Wild Oats, Uvularia sessilifolia, Colchicaceae Large Cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, Ericaceae Leatherleaf, Chamaedaphne calyculata, Ericaceae Highbush Blueberry, Vaccinium corymbosum, Ericaceae Painted Trillium, Trillium undulatum, Melanthiaceae Goldthread, Coptis trifolia, Ranunculaceae Bog Laurel, Kalmia polifolia, Ericaceae Painted Trillium, Trillium undulatum, Melanthiaceae with Margined Calligrapher Fly, Toxomerus marginatus This was the wettest I’ve ever seen Saco Heath, and that’s saying something, since it’s a bog. The actual boardwalk area was fairly well flooded – see the cranberry above. (That was just below the level of the boardwalk – those areas are often dry.)
