Aspen (Populus tremuloides)
Bunchberry (Cornus canadensis)
Bracken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum)
Savannah Sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis)
PooterWe have not had much sun this month. It has been a wet month and so when the sun shines, even for a few hours, it's time to rejoice. Or pick yourself up from your fetal ball and dry your eyes and have some fun.
It has been with some trepidation that we go into summer here in western Maine. The last few years summer began in July and ended in early August. So while the sun shines it's good. With luck and hope we might have summer.

Bunchberry? Isn't that a dogwood?

Yep, bunchberries are a dogwood, same family. The plant that is above ground (they are only about 6"or so high), are part of a branch of an underground stem. They grow in some pretty dense stands. Later they will have red berries that are edible, but pretty tasteless.
