7-19 Centaury, Brown Knapweed, Sunflower species, Monarch caterpillar

 7-19 

The alien Centaury is said to favor meadows and fields. I find it on sandy road verges.


Another alien, Brown Knapweed, can be seen in fields and along roadsides.

One of the many species of sunflowers that will dot roadsides and thickets is starting its flowering. Most sunflowers are native.


And some Monarch caterpillars have hatched and are hungrily consuming milkweed leaves!
