Winter is a beautiful time of year, but sometimes in the cold and snow it’s good to remember summer. Here’s a small taste of midsummer in the woods and meadows around Pittsburgh.

The rough-fruited cinquefoil, Potentilla recta.

A woodland waterfall.

A red clover, Trifolium pratense.

A white clover, Trifolium repens, in an unusually strong bicolor.

A birdfoot trefoil, Lotus corniculatus.
When you come across any wildflower in Pittsburgh and nearby, Wildflowers of Western Pennsylvania is an essential resource. Dr. Bob Zuberbuhler has built a unique and comprehensive Web reference, both informative and beautiful.
