Click on this pic. I think it’s worth it. This is a small but quite beautiful flower that we can find all over Long Island. I believe it goes largely unnoticed. Everyone sees it but I am not at all sure that they see it, if you know what I mean. Insects see it. Bees certainly see it. And when you eat Clover Honey, whether it’s in your tea or by the spoonful, you taste it. I myself will take a spoonful for a cough, but more often, I will enjoy a spoonful just because it tastes so good. JK

Rhododendron Flowers

This is a cluster of Rhododendron flowers that I photographed at Frank Melville Park in Setauket. As is usual with most of my botanical posts, I had help from my friend Sue Avery when it came time to identify this plant. Sue is my vegetation expert. She has her own blog called The Tangled Wood. I invite you to check it out. I think you’ll enjoy her stuff. JK
