Can
you identify what's in this photo?
Each Wednesday morning
on Camp Lutherlyn's Facebook page
the Lutherlyn Environmental
Education Program posts a photo.
Readers
have all morning and afternoon
to
make their best guess about what the photo is.
Around
6 pm LEEP provides the answer and a brief explanation.
Each
week's What is it Wednesday post
will
also be posted on the Nature of Lutherlyn blog,
after it is posted on Facebook,
sometimes
with additional bonus information.
In
addition to bringing you current editions of What is it Wednesday
on the
Nature of Lutherlyn blog,
we
will be reposting old editions,
creating
a What is it Wednesday archive.
This
photo was posted as a What is it Wednesday on May 1, 2019.
And
the answer is....
Hikers to Chapel Rock this week were able to see four
different kinds of violets in one hike!
The dark purple one in the bottom left
is the common blue violet.

Bottom right is the yellow forest violet.

Lutherlyn has one more violet
species: the marsh blue violet, which has a very long stem, is found in wet
areas, and which we sometimes see between the Sugar Shack and Upper Lake.
We
love identifying wildflowers while walking the trails with groups! For more about how LEEP can help you enjoy the sights on
your walks through nature, check out www.Lutherlyn.com/ee.
Like and follow Camp Lutherlyn on
Facebook, to see What is it Wednesday posts when
they come out and have the opportunity to share your guesses in the comments!
