Name That Weedy Flower!
I'm expecting this one will be easy for folks, but it hasn't been for me.
This wildflower: http://www.paghat.com/images/sweetsomething_aug.jpg has been blooming all summer & still blooming now. It popped up in a roadside sungarden as a volunteer, very tiny last year, a good-sized clump this year. It's less than two feet tall. The clusters of blooms add up at biggeset to the size of a fist. I remember when I was a child this very flower grew around a stump with yarrows on my great-gram's farm & the grandkids would pick them & gramma taught us how to dry flowers using this thing. But I can't for the life of me remember what she called them. -paghat the ratgirl -- "Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" See the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com/ |
