These wildflowers are blooming in my yard. It is a gorgeous time.

As The Troggs sang: Wild thing...you make my heart sing...You make everything groooovy...

Blue-Eyed Grass

Blue-eyed Grass

Bulbous Buttercup

Dames Rocket

Orange Hawkweed

Orange Hawkweed. One of my favorites.

Wood Betony

Wood Betony. Also called Lousewort because it was thought that cattle got lice if they ate this plant. I just discovered this one. It is so lovely.

Violet

Yellow Goatsbeard

Yellow Goatsbeard. This is a morning flower that closes before noon.

Dandelion

Dandelion seedhead. American yards would be so much prettier if we considered the dandelion a blessing instead of a scurge. The leaves are edible and the seedhead is gorgeous. Think of the money we'd save on herbicides and how much cleaner our water would be if we just let them be. Enjoy them, America.
