More flowers from the minnow pond


A return to the minnow pond (overflow pics). Lots of common flowers out now along the roadsides. One that is most noticable now is the Pearly Everlasting with it's buttons of white. Another white flower is the Queen Anne's Lace, very tall and showy, a large flat cluster with a deep purple floret in the center. It's also called Wild Carrot (what a letdown to being a queen). The Evening Primrose with it's yellow flower has a X shaped stigma in between the petals. Last and least is one found in your lawn right now it's yellow, trailing on the ground and called Moneywort.

The Queen Anne's Lace looks like a gazillion snowflakes glued together!!!!!!!!!! I never noticed 3/4 of the flowers I am seeing on your blog. I hope I remember their names!
