Today Oxeye Daisy, the common and well-loved composite, flecks fields and roadsides.
Yellow Goatsbeard, another composite, lifts its face above meadow grasses … in the A.M. Its flowers close up by noon.
Bristly Locust's large, pink, pea-like flowers dangle in the thickets. Bristly locust, a close relative of Black Locust, was introduced as an ornamental shrub. It was also used for erosion control and in some states for mine reclamation.
And One-flowered Cancerroot AKA Ghost Pipe is doing its thing. Having no leaves or chlorophyl this fuzzy, sticky little plant lives as a parasite.
