Yet another trillium shot

It's my favorite flower, so I couldn't resist. This one was on Mount Moriah.

We did some trail work in the ADK High Peaks this past weekend and I found this painted trillium by the trail.

I'm hoping to get a look at some yellow lady slippers this year over in Vermont...but I figured they would come out later...

All three shots...fantastic....but I really like the rose twisted shot...great light on that one!

Nice shooting!

What? No high altitude wildflowers???

I observed this wildflower on Mt Lafayette on 6/24/08 in area around junction of Skookumchuck and Garfield Ridge Trail at approx. 4630' elevation. I think it's diapensia lapponica.

Hi all,
I'm going to be helping out a former college prof. with some research on the Trillium (both purple and painted) next spring, and if anyone has a second or two to pm me where they found a bunch of either flower that would be super. Just the trail and approximately where along the trail you've seen it would be great! Just the White Mountain area is where I'll probably focus.
Thanks.

There was a nice one (painted, I think) in the middle of Old Indian Trail on Wachusett on May 17. IIRC, it was above the ski trail crossings.

Thanks. I'm looking for an area where there's alot of both types of Trillium growing in the same spot. It's a scent/pollination study. A giant field of 100 flowers would be ideal, but of course ideal study sites don't exist in real life.

Don't want to hiijack this thread, so you can just pm me! Beautiful pictures everyone. I have some California spring wildflower picture up on my site if anyone is interested. It was so colorful out there a few weekends ago!

Brownsville Trail on Mt. Ascutney at above 2700', right above "North Peak;" I didn't hunt around much off trail but I'm willing to bet there were a thousand purple trillium and if you look hard enough, 50-100 painted trillium. The area was very open and seemed littered with them.

[Kevin Judy and Emma]

Which Blueberry Mountain?

I assume you were on the one near Moosilaukee? Otherwise you'd have run into Jude, Emma and I on the one in Evan's Notch!

[Jason Berard]

yeah, that's the one. Did you see anything over on the "other" Blueberry Mtn?

 

[RickB.]

Rhodora on South Baldface

 

[JCE]

Can't identify this flower - help appreciated...

I saw these all over Lambert Ridge going up to Smarts Mtn yesterday, any ideas as to what they are?

Couldn't find them in the wildflower books.

Thanks,

[Kevin Judy and Emma]

I concur..

Carole is correct, Pale Corydalis, see earlier posts. Hey RickB, that Rhodora shot looks vaguely familiar. Oh yeah, it's hanging on my wall!

Shot it 6/5/06. Obviously, you have a good eye!

Jason, wonderful shots! I think "What's this?" is Swamp Dewberry Rubus hispidus.
