Steve And Muffin’s Wildflowers #16.
Hi everyone and Happy June! Today’s wildflower is the “three-toothed cinquefoil”. This is a small wildflower, half an inch (about 12mm) across. It is a very bright white with 5 petals that are often wrinkled and bend downward when fully open. It is a member of the rose family and really quite showy for a small flower. The leaves are evergreen, meaning they stay attached to the plant year round, but do turn a burgundy red in fall. The leaves have a 3 toothed design at the end. They grow if very poor, dry, sandy soil where there is little competition from other plants. They also prefer full sun and are usually associated with jack pine forests. In Canada they can be found from Alberta through to the east coast. In the US they can be found from ND to Maine and south to Georgia, though missing a few states in that area. It’s main blooming time is June and July. Have a wonderful day everyone and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

They never answer emails, but I can phone them, and I have. They just tell me there’s a lot of internet traffic now with people at home so much, so it causes minor crashes now and then. I think it’s my modem that’s the problem but they don’t want to change it. Maybe when their local office opens I can go and get some service.

A chipmunk??? Wow, that’s odd. Have never had problems that way up here, only with squirrels. Chipmunks usually live underground, about 6 to 8 feet down. Guess it must be warm under your place!😁

Tiny little claws that couldn’t hurt a finger, teeth barely sharp enough to bite a peanut. And such sad longing eyes, just looking for some human to feed and take care of him.🤔😁

Acorns are too big for that tiny little suitcase, he needs shelled peanuts, unsalted, to keep him going. And don’t forget the map so he doesn’t get lost. And a little blanket and pillow.😁
