Welcome to my Wild Garden! Right now, you can come with me as I photograph the growing season of a small, neglected garden. In the future, I plan to add a photo gallery, a section on Tudor outfits, as well as a number of other things.

Spetember 20th: Flowers, Seeds, and Early Fall Color

The vetch continues to bloom.

Black raspberry and wild raspberry leaves.

The firat blush of maroon apears on soe maple leaves.

The low three-vein and its flowers are as green as ever. I call this low three-vein becaust I do not know its name. Do you?

The devil's beggartick is all green leaves and small flowers consisting mostly of a center.

Esrly yellow appears on the hawthorn.

The tight pink buds of the smartweed are closed and enigmatic.

The tightly curled heads of the Queen Anne's lace are opening slightly.

The Evening primrose displays fore-pointed stars as the tips of the seed cases split open to reveal the ripe seeds, ready to spill forth.

The Pokeweed is heavy with hanging fruit, while it does its best to produce more clusters of berries.

The horseweed's modest flowers are opening once again like miniature dandelions, ready to release the mature seed to the wind,.

The hawkweed's former yellow glory is fading, to be replaced by seeds, each bearing a bit of fluff that will allow it to ride the wind


Some yellow goldenrod blossoms remain, but most of it is turning to seedheads.

The fireworks weed rests, or perhapsis furiously at work developing seeds. Whatever it is doing is not evident.
