June 2

Golden Heather,  Hudsonia Ericoides
  The island is golden...with the yellowy greens of new leaves and the blanket of golden heather!

We are coming into summer!

Last week was beach plum and hudsonia...this week they are past.  But the wild irises at the edge of bogs and ponds  and swaths of blue-eyed grass are at their peak.  Scotch broom is still wilding along the roads,  and the first rugosas are blooming on the bluff.
