Wildflower

Cluster

Wildflower, Flower, Purple, Cluster

This delicate bloom is known as Crown Vetch or Axseed. It is a summertime wildflower classified as an herb in the legume family. (The same category as peas and beans.)

These flowers seem to be popular with bees and butterflies.  In the area I found this, bees were busy working the few flowers there.

On the downside, it is a serious invader of prairies and dunes and, apparently, it’s poisonous to horses.

Sun and Stars

Wildflower, Flower, Orange, Red, Petals

These are wildflowers found on our property.  They are in an area where I scattered a bunch of wildflower seeds last year.  We never saw any of these last year, so it was a pleasant surprise to see these big, bright blooms among the weeds this year. The white dandelion-like seeds in the center of the flower blew over from some nearby weeds.

Simple Spring

Wildflower, Flower, Yellow, Reflection, Light, Swamp

While walking through a swampy area of woods, I stumbled upon this simple, single flower. The bright area behind the flower is daylight reflecting off a wet area. I don’t know what kind of flower it was, but it was small. This bloom was only about the size of a thumbnail.

Hepatica Blue

Hepatica, Wildflower, Blue, Bloom, Macro,

Enduring a winter that won’t give up, I had to dig through the archives for a little bit of spring color.  This is one of my favorite spring wildflowers because of its delicate beauty and its early bloom; one of the very first you will see in these parts. Looking forward to seeing them again.

The hepatica (also known as liverleaf or liverwort) is a genus of herbaceous perennials in the buttercup family, native to central and northern Europe, Asia and eastern North America.  This one was photographed in northeastern Wisconsin.
