I posted ten beauties last week. Here are another ten. I took these photos during the past few days around Petersburgh, New York, which closely borders Bennington, Vermont, and Williamstown, Massachusetts. Enjoy!

Deptford Pink or Grass Pink. Tiny flowers on the roadside. Deptford refers to Deptford, England, where the flower grows. From Europe.

Common Toadflax or Butter-and-Eggs. In the Western U.S., this is considered an invasive species. Here in the NE, this European introduction doesn't thrive as much because it isn't as dry.

Musk Mallow. Gorgeous perennial from Europe. It has narrow, toothed leaves and can almost look like a bush.

Musk Mallow missing a petal. So delicate just on the highway.

Black-eyed Susan. An American native prairie flower. Although they are called "black-eyed," the centers are brown.

Day Lily. Although this looks like a showy cultivated flower, it is a wildflower. Each flower lasts only one day

Chicory. All over here. European. Roots can be roasted and ground as a coffee additive or substitute.

Golden Alexanders. Native. All over here. Can be quite tall.

Bur Reed. In marsh or shallow water. Grass-like.

Rough-fruited Cinquefoil. Hairy plant with flower clusters. Leaves are interesting and I've pictured them below.
