5-27 Ox-eye Daisies, Lesser Toadflax, Black Locust, Bristly Locust

5-27 Ox-eye Daisies - alien but beloved - are dotting roadsides and fields.

Lesser Toadflax is almost exclusively found in railroad ballasts - and is probably overlooked by most.

Clusters of creamy white pea-like flowers spangle Black Locusts - an introduced species in New England.

The clusters of large pink pea-like flowers on Bristly Locust - a species often introduced for erosion control and land reclaimation - are also currently open. John
