Wildflowers this month found throughout my property... Some were planted on purpose, some are native to this area and some in reality are probably considered more of a weed...
Last year this flower came up by volunteer in my flower garden. I let it bloom, but it reseeded like crazy. Now I just let it stay a true wildflower--in the field...
Didn't plant it--came with the property...
I think I had a photo of this flower last month, but it's still blooming profusely--it deserves to be added to this month as well...
I bought this plant last year off Craig's List from a man that lived out in the middle of no-where... I went by myself to his house which was off a dirt road in a rather scary part of the Ozarks. Have you ever seen Winter's Bone or Deliverance? It turned out that he was just a crazy gardener like myself...
This pretty vine is actually a weed, but it appeared climbing up a sunflower and now I don't have the heart to remove it...
What's odd about this plant is that a friend gave me the seeds several years ago (which I planted), but this is the first year it's appeared in my garden. The flowers bloom during the night until about noon the next day. It's become one of my favorites--it's drought tolerate (I've never watered it) and it doesn't have a leaf that a bug has chewed on.--That's probably because Datura is a member of the nightshade family and all parts of this plant are toxic.
A favorite of butterflies, including this Spicebush Swallowtail...
