Chokecherry Blossoms | This photo of Chokecherry blossoms was taken by Lynne on 6/8/2005. Chokecherries are relatively prolific in Sand Creek Park. The small bitter pitted fruit can be made into jelly, but humans seldom get the luxury of picking ripe berries! | 0 | 06/13/2005 |

Common Shadbush or Serviceberry | This relation to the rose can be recognized by the rose-like leaves, but no thorns on the stalks. The flowers are often ragged and unattractive. This matures to create a sweet edible berry with a soft pit. We have a couple of these bushes near the cabin. Photo by Lynne on 6/9/2005. | 0 | 06/13/2005 |

Fairy Slipper (Calypso Bulbosa) | It is truly Fairy Slipper season! I wish I could find a black morel under one of these. They are ususally a good indicator of that sought-after mushroom. But, that is a topic for the mushroom site, I guess. This photo was taken by Lynne on 6/7/2005. | 0 | 06/13/2005 |
