We walked in it for a while, but the rain got heavier and we took refuge under a bridge. Under and near the bridge various wildflowers were growing. Out my iPhone went, as we sheltered.
I'll blog more about this walk on Friday but for now, I present these wildflowers to brighten your Wednesday.
Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) many times is an indicator that poison ivy is near, and can be used as a treatment for same.
Related, yellow jewelweed (Impatiens pallida)attracts hummingbirds and bumblebees. I see the two growing close together on various walking trails here in the Southern Tier of New York.
I believe this is purple loosetrife, an invasive plant.
And finally, goldenrod, the flower that announces "fall is almost here". There are at least twelve types and I don't know which one this is.
Join Esha and Natasha each Wednesday for #WordlessWednesday.
So pretty...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty. It is raining here today in Western NY and I am not complaining. I wish the humidity would go though, smiles.
ReplyDeleteLove jewelweed. My kids loved popping the seed pods when they were young.
ReplyDeleteOh, my word! Imagine those all growing wild! It boggles my mind!
ReplyDeletevariety of color can brighten up ones day.

These two - yellow jewelweed and wild morning glory (who sounds like a real thug!!!) - are totally new to me. Hearing for the first time.

Loosetrife certainly was invasive in my yard...
ReplyDeleteWhile the kids liked the purple, it worked hard to strangle the rest of the garden
Pretty flowers and rain. What a nice day.
