I’ve been (for quite awhile now) failing at posting about recent hikes.

So here are some pictures from the past month or so.

When I said that Maine seemed to have a thing about Rhododendrons, I wasn’t kidding. This was an entire garden dedicated to them.

Asticou Azalea Garden

This is actually a common wild Rhododendron, which I had never seen before.

This counts as a tree frog, right?

These were taken at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens at the end of May.

I’ve not seen a red bleeding heart around here!

Rhododendron was surprisingly popular in Maine.

They had a fairy garden section, which was cute.

But mostly I just liked the rocks.

Flower pr0n from far places.

Mountain Top Arboretum (Tannersville, NY)

Larch!

Paper birch

Water lilies

(Not a flower)

Marsh

I’m trying to post more frequently here.

Not a lot of success, but I’m trying.

So as your reward, here is some flower pr0n from the Arboretum!

I never see a lot of bloodroot flowers, so I’m generally excited when I spot one.

Just a couple of delphiniums were up

Lots and lots of trillium, including this weirdo!

Early bluebells are up, but nowhere near peak yet.

Lots and lot of spring beauties

Some trout lilies!

Chickweed!

And downtown, some cherry blossoms

I GOT TO GO TO THE WOODS YESTERDAY!

Why is this exciting? Because it’s been five weeks already since I broke my foot, and since the weather was lovely, I put on my foot, grabbed my crutches, and we took a short hike at Coopers Rock.

It was LOVELY to be in the forest. Especially since one of my favorite flowers was on display.
