Flowers of the Field

Besides the flowers in our garden, which is now a mass of colour from the Day Lilies, we've got plenty of wildflowers out in the meadow and along the edge of the road.

One of my favourite, the beautiful blue Chickory, opening in the morning sunlight..

A pale yellow Cinquefoil.

And a Rose Mallow.

Undoubtedly the most common 'weed' in our garden, the Purple Vetch.  It sneaks through the other vegetation and appears on the top when you least expect it.

Two Thistles which have escaped my attention (and still do).

Our Brown-eyed Susans have sort of migrated across a corner of the meadow as they reseed themselves every year, but they're still plentiful.

 I usually let 3 or 4 Mullein stay where they grow in the garden, just to give them a chance.  They like to seed in bare soil.

And finally, Queen Anne's Lace, one of my mother's favourites.
