August 10th Garden Update

Hello!

As the summer begins to come to an end the late blooming species are blooming. If you have your summer vacation planned for the end of August you will still be able to see species in bloom like Mountain Sandwort (white flowers), Greenland Stitchwort (white flowers), Cutler's Goldenrod (yellow flowers), and Three-leaved rattlesnake-root (white flowers). You will also be able to see the big bright red berries of Mountain cranberry and the blue ones of bog bilberry, and.....maybe some blueberries closer to treeline. Finally, as you look at the plants keep an eye out for the White Mountain Fritillary, a small, orange butterfly that only lives in the alpine zone and is another species of research up here.

Hope to see you up here, Lauren
