Weekly Wildflowers – Long Reach Preserve, Harpswell, ME

Bog, Wayside Flowers, Woodland / Megan

I chose this site today because it features a bog, and had an orchid in the land trust’s website pictures. And since my regular local bog (Saco Heath) is closed for the foreseeable (Covid-based) future, I was hopeful I’d see some cool orchids. And I did. Where there was no way I could get close […]

Pink Lady's Slipper, Cypripedium acuale

Weekly Wildflowers – Donnell Pond, Franklin, ME

Wayside Flowers, Woodland / Megan

It’s been a great year for lady’s slippers – there were more of them where I usually find them, and I found some at Mackworth Island, where I’ve never found them before.   But this was by far the best patch I’ve seen this year.   Conveniently located just past the kayaks at my dads’ camp.

The state parks closest to Portland are back open.     I can’t tell you how happy I’ve been to be able to go back to them.    They’re some of my favorite spaces, and I’ve missed them.

Fringed Milkwort, Polygala paucifolia

Weekly Wildflowers – Wolfes Neck State Park, Freeport, ME

Disturbed Habitat, Wayside Flowers, Woodland / Megan

One of the real bummers about this Spring is that the state parks closest to me are closed, and have been since we started having to social distance.     They’re some of my favorite places to go find the Spring forest ephemerals.   I’ve really missed being able to go to my regular places.   I feel
