As the ground dries in late summer other wildflowers begin to show. They must have deeper roots as many species have their leaved dried up which makes these easier to find.
But it’s not really late summer as the goldenrods in the woods have not started to bloom. It won’t be until fall when the asters and gentia begin to bloom.
