It's amazing what Nature can put together for us. These, unless noted, were taken today on the Vestal Rail Trail in Vestal, New York.
This is a popular exercise trail for people of all ages. I wonder how many pass by without paying attention to Nature's show?
Dame's Rocket is still blooming. This flower is considered invasive in a number of states, but (so far) not New York. That surprises me a little. This comes in several colors - white, pink, and purple.
Rugosa roses. Yes, they are invasive, but they smell so sweet.
A yellow wildflower with bee.
I always forget the name of this. I'm thinking it has to be a member of the aster family. It blooms from late spring into "regular" aster season in late summer/fall.
From May 30, Dame's Rocket with a pink wildflower.
No, I don't pick these flowers. They aren't mine to pick. But if I could, they would make an interesting bouquet, indeed. Sweet music from Nature.
Speaking of music, why not join me and other music bloggers tomorrow morning for Music Moves Me?
...I was surprised to see a white stand of Dame's Rocket. The name that you forgot is fleabane.

Yes, that's it . Thank you!
DeleteThat is exactly what I was going to say Alana .. Fleabane .. glad some one else is of the same mind LOL .. I used to grow Dames Rocket, I don't know what happened to it .. maybe age because it was so long ago .. it is hard to judge how long lived a plant will be even with information on the net .. it seems to be up to the plant itself at times ? All we can do is be it's caretaker. Pretty pictures !
ReplyDeleteThank you. I should submit my mystery wildflowers (there are lots of them; I'm far from a great wildflower identifier) to my blogging readers one of these days!
DeleteI alway love your flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you, although today these are strictly Nature's flowers.
DeleteWild daisy will be around here later in June.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Fleabane used to grow wild around my yard but you've reminded me that I haven't seen any this year. Now I'll be sure to be on the lookout for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice walk.
