6-30 Blue Vervain, Showy Tick Trefoil, Whorled Milkwort, Spiked Lobelia

6-30 Moist thickets, shores and meadows are home to Blue Vervain.

Showy Tick Trefoil - one of 9 Tick Trefoils found in the Northeast - is starting its flowering.

Whorled Milkwort - now in flower - is tiny, obscure and rare.

Spiked Lobelia is common in woods and fields. It seems to particularly favor old log landings and skid roads. John
