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 !
