These shots were all taken on our various hikes in our wonderful province. We've only just begun to take pictures of the wildflowers. I've just put some tags on them for now. Carol will eventually identify all of them for you. These are tiny files. If you like a full sized file of any of these pictures, just drop us an email and we'll send it along to you.
All of the thumbnails above were taken on a simple walk through the field up above our street. Click to enlarge.
All of the thumbnails above were taken during our trip up the Great Northern Peninsula, June 2005. Click to enlarge. We'll be adding them below after we've done our homework.
Signs of Spring! Maybe! Click on any thumbnail to see it full sized.
Newfoundland and Labrador Wildflowers
|
This is one of the earliest wildflowers of the year, Colt's Foot. (May 6, 2005 - Lomond Campground) __________
This is a mystery flower. It appeared in mid-May, lasted about a week. It was suggested it was a May Flower. A logical suggestion, but it doesn't fit. __________
Beachhead Iris This picture was taken on our hike to the Botanical Gardens at Raleigh on the GNP. __________
Several of these pictures, though were not sure which ones, are of exceedingly rare plants. __________
These, I think, are just ordinary BlueBells. But Carol will fix all my mistakes somewhere along the line. __________
Rhodora, taken on the Lookout Trail, behind the Discovery Centre, Gros Morne National Park __________
Showy Lady Slipper, taken on the trail to Baker's Brook Falls. __________
Partridgeberries and caribous moss - Sandy Pond __________
Partridgeberries, Terra Nova National Park __________ |
Carol tells me these aren't really wildflowers. This is an English Daisy that "escaped" from a garden that once existed at Lomond. __________
River Beauty These wild flowers were all growing in the rocks, as do many Newfoundland flowers. __________
Hairy Willow or Rock Willow This makes a lovely wallpaper. __________
Sandwort or Pearlwort This is one of our favourite pictures. Such tiny, delicate flowers growing (and surviving) in the rocks. It's kind of symbolic of this province. __________
Pink Lady Slippers, taken on the Lookout Trail behind the Discovery Centre, Gros Morne National Park. These are pink Lady Slippers. There are other kinds in the park. __________
Marsh Cinquefoil Taken on the Green Point Trail. __________
Partridgeberries and caribou Moss - Sandy Pond Terra Nova National Park __________ |
Bunchberries or Crackerberries There are lots of opportunities to do still lifes from driftwood and wild flowers. __________
Clasping Twistedstalk These are delicate little berries growing singly under these leaves (we turned them over). __________
Balsom Fir Looks like a Christmas decoration doesn't it? __________
This was taken just below the Lighthouse at Lobster Cove Head. They are Bird's Eye Primrose. __________
Cow parsnip. Taken on the trail to Baker's Brook Falls. __________
This is Bull Thistle. Green Point Trail. __________
Mushroom - Buckley Cove, Terra Nova National Park __________
