Pineary Provincial Park, July 11, 2022

The lovely flower above which was growing in many places at Pineary is the Asclepias tuberosa L also called butterflyweed, butterfly milkweed (but no milk sap in this plant), orange milkweed, Pleurisy root and Chigger flower. It belongs to the milkweed family: Asclepiadaceae

 

A day trip to Pinery Provincial Park with friends.

Lovely Park

Found 4-5 fossils!! probably over 5 million years old! Found them on the beach, among the smooth beach stones and pebbles.

Lovely sand dunes by the beach...like a stretch of short hills made of sand

Lovely narrow river filled with thousands of water lilies

Many trails

The first place where I found innumerable oak plants and trees...I have seen lots of pine trees in many parts of Ontario but here you see lots of oak trees....which is rare here.
