This
poor little thing is growing right in the middle of the driveway, where
my wheels straddle it every time I drive in or out. It is such a pretty
little poppy, I certainly wish it was someplace safer! |
Here is
the colorful part of the meadow. Click on the picture for an enlarged

Here is
a respectable bachelors button plant. It is about 3 feet high and the
flowers are huge, too. |
This
clearly came with the wildflower mixture, and I think it is probably
called smooth phlox. It is the pink flower in the two pictures above. |

Here is
an evening lynchnis (or white campion). It opens in the evening and it
looks like it is beginning to deflate. |
This is
a bladder campion, but it, too, looks like it is beginning to go.
Usually the bladders are plumper. |

Here's
the whazzit of the day. Its plant is about 4 inches high, and the flower
is maybe ½ inch in diameter, but that
doesn't mean much, since it is growing in the stones with the miniature
bachelors buttons and scabiosas. One of my books indicates it might be a
southern flower called annual phlox, except that this poor stunted plant
only has one flower! |
Here is a
better picture of the whazzit from the other day. This is also a much
bigger plant with much bigger flowers. It has to be something from the
wildflower mixture, but I can't identify it. |
