Wildflowers Blooming on the Farm

September 1, 2009 by Jeanne


I love to learn the names of things…birds, wildflowers, stars. I snapped photos of these wildflowers blooming in our woods. Can you identify them? I did not take photos of what I could identify….Queen Anne’s lace, cornflowers, honeysuckle, and Goldenrod are blooming now, and the Milk Weed in the fields has set its flower pods.

What are the names of these beautiful wildflowers?

This pink one is at the edge of the driveway. It reminds me of a sweet pea. What is it?

This yellow daisy-like flowers grows on the edges of the clearing and is very tall, in some spots over four feet:

This one is in the woods, in deep shade, and grows in clusters or clumps. What is it?

This one has flowers so small, they’re easy to miss. It’s growing near the base of trees. Do you know what it is? I don’t !

How to Grow Bok Choy

September Gardening: Tasks & Tips

Fall is the time for mums, for pumpkins, and another round of pansies — for soft golden twilights and leaves crunching underfoot. September is the last month here in zones 6 and 7 when the garden is still lush and full. We’re harvesting the last of the tomatoes here at Seven Oaks, my farm near…

An assassin bug, blending into the roadway

Assassin Bugs – Scary Looking, But Beneficial Insects

We meet the strangest neighbors while walking the dog. This assassin bug was strolling across the pavement on a hot summer’s evening when we walked our dog. At first, I thought it was a wolf spider, but the leg arrangement, plus the narrower body, made me decide to snap a picture and use Google Lens…
