OK, this isn’t the ingredient list for a Witch’s Brew. Just a couple pictures of natural and naturalized landscaping.
The purple flowers are more Rose Verbena (Glandularia canadensis). The yellow flowers are that of a buttercup, Early Buttercup perhaps (Ranunculus fascicularis).
This is Oxeye Daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum or Leucanthemum vulgare). As often as I saw it, I used to think that this was native…and a quite beautiful prairie forb. It’s apparently native to Europe and considered an invasive weed in some parts of the United States, but it is a common inhabitant of horse-battered fields in Missouri. It looks like battling Oxeye Daisy with prescribed fire could deter its growth. A prescribed burn and native replanting would ensure it and other invasives are less likely to return. Grow native!
Clever lead into your post! Very pretty! Great photos!
Thanks!
Nice website, Mark. I particularly like the photos. Did you take the pics? If so what kind of camera do you use?
My son-in-law borrowed my Cannon TS2I, and I have missed pretty much all of the beautiful spring scenes here in Atlanta.
Thanks for checking it out! All the photos are mine (except for a clipart in a fuel economy post). I’ve had a Nikon D3100 for almost a year now and have loved it. Never been to Atlanta, but loved the scenery around Toccoa, Georgia. Cheers.
These are beautiful Mark! So glad I found your blog (or you found mine) :O) Nature, Sustainability and Photography – Right up my alley! :O)
Thanks for stopping by!
