Wildflower: A flowering plant that grows without cultivation.This is a journal of my discovery of wildflowers, which not only will provide my memory (since the biological memory is failing more and more,) but also can be a valuable record as to when certain wildflowers will be in bloom.

Just a Few Photos From My Yard This Morning
Posted on April 30th, 2012 5 commentsIt was a beautiful morning today, and since I work from home on Mondays I had an extra few minutes before starting work. I used those minutes to walk around our yard taking a few photos:
Fleabane
This Fleabane is growing in our yard along the sidewalk to our driveway. I’m probably a bit negligent with mowing the lawn, and I’m not sure the patches of Fleabane I leave when I do mow are fully appreciated by others. Thanks to my tolerant wife!

07/21/2009 Flower of the Day: Wild Potato Vine

- Wild Potato Vine – Ipomoea pandurata
You look at this photo and you think “Morning Glory.” And you’re right. It is a member of the morning-glory family - Convolvulaceae - as well as the core morning-glory genus – Ipomoea. But the common name “Wild Potato Vine” tells us a little more about the plant.

06/06/2009 The Pocket Early Summer Check-in
Posted on June 14th, 2009 No comments
In the May 5 post, I mentioned that the wild hydrangea blossoms were forming their buds. Since I only had photos of prior year’s blossoms – which I think in themselves are quite beautiful – I wanted to make sure I got a chance to photograph them while in bloom. I managed to squeeze out some time (thanks for giving up work on the ceiling, Cindy!) on Saturday, June 6, and was rewarded with finding the hydrangea at peak of their blossom.
