Wildflowers of Cape May

August 30th, 2009 by

yellow
Wish I knew the name of this lovely yellow wildflower I photographed at the Cape May Migratory Bird Refuge.

marsh_pinks
These tiny, delicate flowers are called marsh pinks.

camphor
The woman at the bird refuge told me these small, daisy-like, yellow flowers are camphor.

Can anyone identify the flowers in my Nature Notes post? I think they may be ageratum.

    I wish I could help but unfortunately I can’t!
    The shots of Cape May you have been showing are all lovely. You seem to have chosen a fine place for your vacation break.

      I had no idea how lovely it was when my husband and son arranged the trip. I was expecting arcades and amusement park rides (Wildwood has these-we didn’t go)…we did do the arcades, for about an hour.

      It’s good I did my own research so I could find some spots I liked, too, instead of all beach.

    Beautiful wildflowers can be equally well enjoyed without knowing all their man given names.

      I am just kicking myself because I asked the name of three wildflowers before I left, and I only remember 2 out of the 3! Somehow knowing their names is like knowing a person better; I feel more connected.
