2012 Spring Wildflower Thread

Please name me; on summit of Cannon

@ Scotzman:

Looks like rhodora.

 

[nartreb]

a yellow Hawkweed and a "red" clover

I didn't check whether the leaves were hairy on both sides, but I'll guess Field Hawkweed, H. caespitosum





So far as I know, there's no mistaking Red Clover, Trifolium pratense



edit: oops, Kevin already had a great red clover photo in this thread. He also had Bog Laurel, but here's Sheep Laurel, Kalmia angustifolia:

that's jewelweed (Impatiens capensis)

 

[Jason Berard]

came across this one today:bird's eye speedwell


I'm sure I've walked past these a thousand times and never given them a second thought.

Need help to identify and a nice Pitcher Plant flower....

Saw this and other Pitcher Plants at Mud Pond, near Pondicherry today....

Not sure what this is, I listed two pics. They were on Mt Success last weekend.
Any help in identifying is appreciated.

Thanks,

Rubus chamaemorus (cloudberry).

A few pics from this weekend in the vicinity of Isolation:

white bog orchid


mountain cranberry, I believe?


We also saw much Labrador tea in bloom, as well as rhodora. There was also a violet growing alongside all the places we found the white bog orchids, but I didn't take a picture. I'm trying to figure out what that was as well. The purple flowers were on very long stems (alpine violet, perhaps?).

These are all from a walk today in the Upper Valley. I haven't had time to figure out what they all are yet. Any ID help would be appreciated.
no idea. flower looks like a honeysuckle but the plant does not. EDIT: northern bush honeysuckle (the first native honeysuckle I've seen!)


bog laurel


round-leaved sundew


rose pogonia


no idea whatsoever. I have a shot of the leaves as well if that helps.
EDIT: bristly sasparilla


no idea. VERY small! (maybe some kind of St. johnswort?)
EDIT: marsh st. johnswort


small cranberry


and lastly, an eastern tiger swallowtail (EDIT: Canadian tiger swallowtail. thanks, barkingcat!)

 

[Jason Berard]

And so it is!

Have been enjoying the recent photos. Jason, sorry I am no help on any ID-ing.

I know it's not spring but saw this orchid high in the Presidentials today (7-19-12) and would like help with ID. Either Ladies Tresses or Leafy White Orchis?
