October 13: Today was the first day a coat and hat and scarf are needed, a real sign of winter’s approach. The asters are the few flowers left, mixed with the seed stalks of goldenrods. And yet, I see the life force in other flowers reblooming: the New Dawn roses climbing on the house, a few Rosa rugosa on the bluff and Sheep laurel in Miacomet. The pulse of life even as the nights chill.

Rosa Rugosa Oct 15
Most surprising were Nodding ladies tresses orchids (spiranthes cernua) at Milestone Bog . I thought they were Little ladies tresses orchids (spiranthese tuberosa) reblooming, but this species is an autumn bloomer. |
