virginiensis

Updated: May 3, 2025

In localities where the arbutus is not common the name mayflower is here most commonly given to the pink and white Anemone nemorosa, the wind flower of the meadow margins and low woods, and to the rock saxifrage, Saxifraga virginiensis, both of which are among the earliest blossoms of the month. None can visit Plymouth without wishing to climb the bold promontory of "hither Manomet."
