6-15 Sheep Laurel, Motherwort and Low Baby's-breath

 6-15

Sheep Laurel, AKA Lambkill, so called because its foliage its poisonous to livestock, is flowering in old pastures, woods and swamps.


Motherwort - member of the mint family - can be seen near old home sites and in waste places.


Low Baby's-breath favors thin, acidic and often compacted soils such as gravel parking lots and highway verges.
