Vetch flowers bloom against a backdrop of leaves showing considerable insect damage. |
Horseweed is long past its cryptic bloom. |
The nimblewill grass has gone to seed. |
The milkweed leaves are beginning to yellow. |
The lambs-quarters' blossoms have long since shown their flash of color, and seeds, as cryptic as the buds, are now in formation. |
Bindweed now shows some yellow leaves. |
The smartweed buds, tightly closed once again, give no indication of any seeds developing within. |
This horse-weed's excessively modest blossoms are long spent, but any hints of seed production are top secret! |
A late calico aster cluster shows less of a profusion than earlier, but the messy and tattered character of the flowers is evident. |
Bindweed leaves show a lot of insect holes, but the insect seen here is grateful for the flower's nectar. The bindweed is no doubt as mindlessly grateful for the spreading of its pollen. |
