numerously as ever. So with the flowers: the columbine, the shooting
star, the painted cup, the puccoon, the beautiful though inodorous large
white trillium, the delicate little corydalis, the star grass and the
lady's slipper, all came within a week of their average time in spite of
the cold, and the showy orchis was only just over into June. May added
fifty-four new species of flowers to the April list, according to the
record of a single observer whose leisure is limited. Those who added the
forty odd May arrivals in bird land to their April lists may have no such
thrilling walks in June, but they may study their feathered friends of
the summer, which is better, and if passion for new lists is not
satiated, try the flowers instead of the birds. June should yield a list
of a hundred twenty-five different species, not including the grasses,
and a very diligent flower-lover will make it much longer.
