I’ve never been to Nova Scotia. I would like to go. Especially now that I have SIX photos in a book about the wildflowers of Nova Scotia!
First up is American Golden Saxifrage (Chrysosplenium Americana) on page 59. This TINY flower was hard to photograph until I got my 10X magnifier which screws on to the front of my 18-55mm lens. The plant grows in very wet places. Most of my photos of this plant are from Allegany State Park, including the one that made the book:
Next up is Broad-leaved Arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia) on page 103.
This was a ditch flower. I took this photo along Jones & Gifford between Jamestown and Celoron, NY. For the book, they cropped the top part off that shows the leaves. They have a different photo that shows the leaves.
On page 108 is Two-leaved Toothwort (Cardamine diphylla)
I have about a billion photographs of various types of Toothwort. This one was taken up in the woods behind Bergman Park in Jamestown, New York.
Also taken at Bergman Park was this Foamflower which shows up on page 139:
Heart-leaved Foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia)
Kidney-leaved Buttercup (Ranunculus abortivus) shows up on page 206:
This is another of the many spring wildflowers I find every spring in the woods behind Bergman Park.
And finally, Spring Beauty (Claytonia caroliniana) is on page 287:
These grow just about everywhere that I hike. This one, again, was taken in the woods behind Bergman Park.
So there you have it. My fifteen minutes of fame.
It was amusing to see snow falling on these spring wildflowers. But then… this IS the Northeast.
Congratulations! These are very nice photos. Not surprised they made it into someone’s book.
Very nice,Jen. That closes up lens sure is fun to play with .Don
Congratulations Jennifer. The New England Wildflower Society chose 6 of my photos for their new wildflower guide that’s coming out next year, and I was really surprised. I love your shot of the saxifrage. I’ve searched and searched for it but have never found it here.
