This is one of the best years I've seen for Indian Paintbrush. There are amazing patches of them along the sides of the highway up here on the Bruce Peninsula. I find them to be one of the most photogenic flower species.
Hope you're having a great spring!

I agree Ethan. I've spent the last 2 weekends in Tobermory and I couldn't believe how much yellow lady slipper has appeared along the roads and on the trails? Is it normally this abundant? I'm fairly new to the Bruce area, living here about a year now and I absolutely love it. What a surprise it was to sit down in the theatre at the new visitor centre in Tobermory and see you on the screen taking me on a beautiful tour of the area.
ReplyDeleteI really wish we had paintbrush around my neck of the woods, I really would like to photograph them more.
ReplyDeleteKyle, Yellow Lady's Slippers are abundant up here - I would guess they're in the 10s of thousands during the first week of june.
ReplyDeleteMark, I'm surprised they aren't over in Michigan around your area... it's a very common species here. You should make a trip to the Bruce sometime around the first week of June, typically the peak for them.
