Wyldflower Wynd

NOTE: This post contains slideshows and if you are viewing on your phone is best viewed direct from the SITE, rather than in the READER.

All photos taken during our July 5, 2021 walk in Bunchberry Meadows/Tucker’s Field.

After our week long heat wave, we were worried that the wildflowers in Bunchberry/Tuckers may have taken a beating. Our fears proved to be unfounded as one wild flower variety’s season melded into the next. It seems there was always something in bloom here during spring and summer.

Out for a stroll along Wyldflower Wynd,

knowing not what new treasures we’d find.

Pink Alberta roses still in bloom,

filling the air with their fine perfume.

Orange tiger lilies, quite the surprise,

then yellow flowers, tiny in size.

Along trail edge, mushrooms translucent,

dainty canopies like tiny tents.

Royal purple thistles, bristling tall,

red wild raspberries, few and quite small.

Delicate blue blooms, like tiny stars,

scattered along path, both near and far.

White flower clump like bridal bouquet,

beautiful wild daisies swing and sway.

Pink roses replaced by red rose hips,

huge white puff balls with feathery tips.

Flowers may fade and green leaves turn gold,

But Wyldflower Wynd never gets old.
