2012 Spring Wildflower Thread

Please name me; on summit of Cannon

@ Scotzman:

Looks like rhodora.

a yellow Hawkweed and a "red" clover

I didn't check whether the leaves were hairy on both sides, but I'll guess Field Hawkweed, H. caespitosum





So far as I know, there's no mistaking Red Clover, Trifolium pratense



edit: oops, Kevin already had a great red clover photo in this thread. He also had Bog Laurel, but here's Sheep Laurel, Kalmia angustifolia:

???????????????

that's jewelweed (Impatiens capensis)

came across this one today:bird's eye speedwell


I'm sure I've walked past these a thousand times and never given them a second thought.

Need help to identify and a nice Pitcher Plant flower....

Saw this and other Pitcher Plants at Mud Pond, near Pondicherry today....



Not sure what this is, I listed two pics. They were on Mt Success last weekend.
Any help in identifying is appreciated.





Thanks,

Rubus chamaemorus (cloudberry).

A few pics from this weekend in the vicinity of Isolation:

white bog orchid


mountain cranberry, I believe?


We also saw much Labrador tea in bloom, as well as rhodora. There was also a violet growing alongside all the places we found the white bog orchids, but I didn't take a picture. I'm trying to figure out what that was as well. The purple flowers were on very long stems (alpine violet, perhaps?).

These are all from a walk today in the Upper Valley. I haven't had time to figure out what they all are yet. Any ID help would be appreciated.
no idea. flower looks like a honeysuckle but the plant does not. EDIT: northern bush honeysuckle (the first native honeysuckle I've seen!)


bog laurel


round-leaved sundew


rose pogonia


no idea whatsoever. I have a shot of the leaves as well if that helps.
EDIT: bristly sasparilla


no idea. VERY small! (maybe some kind of St. johnswort?)
EDIT: marsh st. johnswort


small cranberry


and lastly, an eastern tiger swallowtail (EDIT: Canadian tiger swallowtail. thanks, barkingcat!)

And so it is!

Have been enjoying the recent photos. Jason, sorry I am no help on any ID-ing.

A native and a naturalized non-native from Canaan, NH, June 19th.

Maple-leaf Viburnum? Found on the Laughing Lion Trail near the first viewpoint.

saw this little guy and all his relatives yesterday in Lyme, NH!


not sure what this is yet


pitcher plant growing right out of a log!


spade-leaved sundew


some kind of orchid


same flower with the leaves

I know it's not spring but saw this orchid high in the Presidentials today (7-19-12) and would like help with ID. Either Ladies Tresses or Leafy White Orchis?
