Summer Flowers

Puddock Hill Journal #69: Scenes from the wet meadow.

With apologies to all my loyal subscribers, I’ve had no time to write this week. As always, however, I did take a few moments to be out and about.

Please enjoy these pictures of flowers in the wet meadow.

Native swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata):

Native tall tickseed (Coreopsis tripteris):

Native brown-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia triloba):

Non-native Queen Anne’s lace (Daucus carota):

Native heal-all (Prunella vulgaris):

Native jewelweed (Impatiens capensis):

Non-native common chicory (Cichorium intybus):

Native hairy white oldfield aster (Symphyotrichum pilosum):

Native wild basil (Clinopodium vulgare):

Native yarrow (Achillea spp.):

Native great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica):

If you have a keen eye, you will also notice in the above photo jewelweed, aster, and invasive Japanese stilt grass. We are attacking the stilt grass as I write.
