Flowers ('Weeds') in the Meadow

It's mid-summer, and lots of weeds are blooming in the meadow.  I find them really appealing, giving the meadow a special flavour all it's own with splashes of colour here and there.  Here's a sampling of what's currently in bloom.
 
A bright yellow Coreopsis.

Close look at Queen Anne's Lace.

Two Lady-bugs in Crown Vetch.

A close look at Musk-Mallow.

Common St. Johnswort.

The multiple flowers of Canada Thistle.

The slender rays of Elecampane.

Butter-and-Eggs that sureptitiously grew in the garden..

    Butter-and-Eggs???? ha ha ... Great name for that weed/wildflower... We saw some of these when we were in West VA ... It's a pretty time of year for wildflowers.

    Great group of photos.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

    As fine an excuse as I've seen for leaving the weeds alone! These are super.
