| Gaillardia - Common Blanket Flower |
It has been a fairly wet May, and Deb and I have been looking for three or four day breaks in the weather for short get aways. With Memorial Day just behind us, we headed for the Outer Banks. There are four campgrounds in Cape Hatteras National Seashore. We did our first dry camping at the most southern campground, Ocracoke, in 2013 and have not been back since. This time we stayed at the most northern, Oregon Inlet. It's a little buggy, but the seashore is spectacular and there are nice little windy paths to get there. Probably in the height of the summer, this place is packed, and with no shade, probably really hot. But since we are retired, we will probably never find out what it's like on a weekend in July. Next, we are traveling south to check out more of the campgrounds, more beaches, and more wildflowers.
The wildflowers are wonderful in the spring. These common blanket flowers are everywhere! Last night I saw Evening Primrose, a plant that only flowers in the evening.
