whew. did this with a full pack, and in record time. i think i’m ready for my “for reals” trip this weekend (more on this later; check back). also, the wildflowers today were stunning.
yellow star grass
i think this is yellow star grass… the latin name is Hypoxis hirsuta, which would imply it is hairy in some part—stems, leaves, flowers. i didn’t notice any especial hairiness. might be wrong on the i.d. i’ll have to look more carefully next time i see it.
mountain laurel, kalmia latifolia
and the mountain laurel is just about ready to burst. it will be a glorious show. i should try and get up to the laurel loop in pachaug state forest next week!
blue flag iris, iris versicolor
and this was growing beside one of the many boardwalks on this trail. you can find the vin gormley trail in the hikefinder.
