The marsh Labrador tea is blooming now 🌸
Its blossoms have an intoxicating fragrance, and walking through a flowering swamp is one of the most memorable experiences of early summer. The scent seems to tell the swamp's mystical story.
The blooming also always brings calf marking season to mind, because normally those two happens at the same time. We luckily have a little bit of marsh Labrador tea growing in our own yard, but within a few weeks we will also be able to enjoy its fragrance in the forest and swamps when the annual calf marking begins 🦌
