Covering the Cosmos

We planted a patch of wildflowers next to our vegetable garden.  Unfortunately, the weeds are out performing the flowers.  Out of the several varieties that made up the wildflower mix we planted, the cosmos did best.  This is one that attracted some of the local wildlife.

Bright sunlight, muted by an early morning fog, created a nice silhouette effect on a stand of Queen Anne’s Lace.  If you look closely, you can see strands of spider web stretched between the flower stems.

This image may seem familiar. It’s a cropped version of the photo I posted on August 2nd, entitled Queen’s Morning.

Twirling Floral Skirt

Poppy, Macro, Flower, Red
Beside my wife’s flower bed, sprouting from a crack in the sidewalk, we have a cluster of sweet, tiny, pink poppies that appeared on their own.

I took this photo in the early morning hours.  I call it Twirling Floral Skirt because it reminds me of a young girl spinning around to make her skirt flow out.

Packed House

Sunflowers, Sunflower Field, Field
This is a field of sunflowers in full bloom.  Just imagine what a difficult jigsaw puzzle this image would make.

I titled this one “Packed House” because it reminds me of people in a crowded theater as seen from the stage.

Queen’s Morning

Silhouette, Sunrise, Sunset. Wildflowers
Yesterday morning started with a light blanket of fog.  As the sun pushed it’s way up through the foggy horizon, it created a nice silhouette of some Queen Anne’s Lace that grows at the edge of the field of oats that is next to lawn of our country home.

This bee was about some serious bee work on the center of a purple cosmos flower. I don’t recall seeing this particular type of bee before – with white hair, orange antennae and a yellowish-green eye. However, this year I’ve photographed several.

Bird’s Foot Trefoil

This is a flower known as Bird’s Foot Trefoil.  This is a close-up, top-view of one of tiny flower clusters – about the size of a quarter. It has been growing extremely well in our area this year during our very dry summer we are  having.  It’s a plant that grows in bright yellow clumps, low to ground. I’ve always considered a pretty wildflower, but most consider it a weed in these parts.

According to Wikipedia…

It is a perennial herbaceous plant, similar in appearance to some clovers. The flowers develop into small pea-like pods or legumes. The name ‘bird’s foot’ refers to the appearance of the seed pods on their stalk. There are five leaflets, but with the central three held conspicuously above the others, hence the use of the name trefoil.

It is used in agriculture as a forage plant, grown for pasture, hay, and silage. It may be used as an alternative to alfalfa in poor soils. It has become an invasive species in some regions of North America and Australia.

The plant has had many common names, which are now mostly out of use. These names were often connected with the yellow and orange colour of the flowers, e.g. Butter and Eggs. One name that is still used is Eggs and Bacon.
