July 8: One whole section of Milestone bog is hosting hundreds of swamp candles, lysimachia terristris. Take the main path and turn left into the bog at the stand of pines. Magnificent to see huge stands of flowers in the bogs, both Milestone and Windswept, as they move away from cranberry production.
The early flowers of "sickle-leaved aster," pityopsis falcata, are along the paths, but the meadowsweet, spirea tomentosa, is yet to flower. The stands of aletris, colicroot, are still visible in the meadows.
