Pink Wintergreen / Pink Pyrola / Pyrola asarifolia

Most people will probably be in bed by now, or at least not on Flickr, so I've just added 12 odds and ends of photos, taken on 13th July 2018. Though most of the flower photos leave a lot to be desired, I am using photos like these to try and re-teach myself about plant IDs. This evening, I was shocked that I had forgotten so many names. I knew the plants, but found it hard to remember the correct names. I've done so little botany for at least the last three years, which doesn't help. I'll be off my computer for quite a few hours while I back up all the photo files I have on my computer hard drive to two external hard drives that are larger than my present ones.

On 13 July 2018, I more or less repeated my drive from two days earlier, except that I also called in at Brown-Lowery Provincial Park to see if there was any sign of fungi growing. It is still not the peak of the fungi season, so I was not too hopeful. I barely entered the forest, as it still gives me the creeps, - Bears, Cougar and Moose are seen there, and I have been told so many times not to go by myself. So far, I have only seen a very large Moose. I did find a cluster of very tiny mushrooms and several clumps of orange Coral Fungus in their usual location. Took a few wildflower shots, too, which I don't do very often these days, unlike a few years ago.

There were quite a few stems of delicate Pink Pyrola in the forest. Always good to see these pretty little pink flowers. This plant was growing among Horsetails, seen in the photo.
