Wildflower Blooms

From our walk this morning, and thanks to the newly-cleared trails, we added some new finds to our growing list of natural stuff…

Cardinal Flower

Wild Quinine (Feverfew)

Nodding Pink Onion (Lady's Leeks)

And a Yellow Garden Spider snacking on its prey 

Wildflower Blooms

Several years ago we reduced the size of our turf grass in the yard and seeded a bunch of native plants. It takes several years for these plants to establish themselves and we just noticed, yesterday afternoon, that the ‘upland’ location (where the ancient farmhouse foundation is buried) is putting-on its own fireworks display. 

 

I figure as summer progresses more are going to pop. 

 

Here's what we got blooming so-far.  

 

Bee Balm (Wild Bergamot), Black-Eyed Susan, False Sunflower (Ox Eye), Motherwort, Pale Purple Coneflower and Feverfew (Wild Quinine).
