if you look attentively, you can find a white flower on the branch:
The Desert Green Gentian Frasera albomarginata is pretty rare in my area. A few days ago, I discovered a concentration of them. I always thought they had 4 petals, but I’ve found a few specimen with three and six petals.
I came across this Instagram clip about sandfood today, and it instantly reminded me of Tony’s milestone find. Such an interesting plant!
The flowers didn’t show up until May at Kanopolis Lake this year, but they’re finally here. Here’s a few highlights from my recent hike.

I know I’ve posted this somewhere in the forum but I don’t remember where so here’s a link.
It’s that special time of year in my province, Ontario! Our provincial flowers are in bloom, and they’re so gorgeous! Here are the Painted Trillium, and Red Trillium! Though, technically our “Provincial flower” is the White Trillium. They take 7-10 years to bloom, and rely on ants to spread their seeds.
The strawberries are also in bloom!
I also met a new friend! Creeping Foamflower.
