6-25 Cow Wheat, Great Angelica, Venus's Looking Glass

 6-25

Cow Wheat is an easily overlooked hemiparasitic component of dry woods.


Stream banks and low meadows are home to Great Angelica which may reach as much as ten feet tall.


And Venus's Looking Glass - so called because of the shape of its seeds - is flowering. I see it on dry rip-rapped banks, the edges of cornfields, gravel parking lots and similar, thinly vegitated sites.
