September Beautiful!

September, 2017

Our days are getting shorter but our wildflowers and other plants are showing off here in Massachusetts.  Take a wildflower walk with me - and see a couple of tiny critters too.

Evening primrose after a rain.

Evening primrose seeds.

Jewel Weed otherwise know as Touch-Me-Not.

Large lily pad with middle "moon drop".

Green and purple.

Graceful Blue Vervain

Climbing False Buckwheat - one of my favorites.
Climbing False Buckwheat vine on Winterberry

Bumblebee and buckwheat

Showy Tick-Trefoil


Monarch caterpillar on Milk Parsley (this plant is rare in these parts).

Extremely prickly Burr Thistle
The "down of a thistle" - the plant is prickly but the seeds are indeed downy.

Meadowhawk dragonfly

Tiny Green Peeper - only 1.5 inches.  He was in my last blog, but had to add him to this one too!

Last but not least - poison ivy, so pretty this time of year.
