Wildflowers

I was working in our woods this morning, clearing up more on the trail along the lake, and saw these.

Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora in the Pyrolaceae) was peeking up all over under the hemlocks.

There seem to be fewer Gentians (Gentiana sp. in the Gentianaceae) along the lake this year than in the past. (Note on 8/16/07 - many more appeared later.)

I found this gerardia (Gerardia sp. in the Scrophulariaceae) on the lake shore as well.
