I knew there would be some summer wildflowers along this route. I was expecting Milkweed, Woodland and Tickseed sunflowers. Maybe some Thistle and various mints, but i was not expecting to see Blazing Star. This elusive purple spiked bloom is quite showy and really draws attention.
About half of the 8 mile hike is in open meadow or cow pasture. The pastures are almost fully devoid of flowers but the meadows are loaded. Butterflies were having a feast. One Monarch even made a cameo appearance. Mostly they were feeding on Milkweed which was just beginning to dry and droop.
Its almost as tall as a tree. No.
Great wildlife and wildflower habitat.
