Tag: Erie Canalway Bike Trail

More flowers are in bloom along the Erie Canalway bike trail in and around Fultonville, NY, though there are some challenges.

In addition to the flowers pictured here, the orange day-lilies, called “Tiger Lilies” by many, have begun to bloom. They will probably be blooming (one bud a day) for the next week or two. Also blooming are the pretty and weedy yellow flower pictured below, as well as another pretty and weedy plant, known as the creeping bellflower.

Blooming along the Erie Canalway Bike and Walking trail in Fultonville, NY on June 9 are Clematis and some sort of wild rose.

Both the purple clematis (jackmanii?) and a very attractive pink clematis can be found along this section. Photographs of unidentified shrub rose and purple clematis

At the very corner referenced above (Routes 30A & 5s), can be found a huge, very pleasant-smelling bush of small white rose-like flowers. Both the rosebush and purple clematis are pictured above. As you may be able to see, the rosebush is overgrowing a crabapple (bloomed earlier this year) and is competing with several weedy box elders.
