Friday Flowers - Oct. 26, 2012

        Even though it was raining for part of the time I was out and very cloudy for the entire time, I did manage to find 66 wild flowers blooming in the Hendrie Valley and the Hamilton Waterfront trail.

        The photo below is of the Slender Speedwell (Veronica filiformis). I usually find it in the spring and sometimes in the fall but I think I missed it this past spring.

Sunshine Makes My Day

We had sunshine on Monday morning but then the skies turned rainy. We need the rain but I am missing the sun.

Friday Wild Flowers

Beggertick

Bugloss

Ragweed

Above are three of the 70 wild flowers that I found in bloom yesterday in the Hamilton area. The third one is the most rare of these as it is an all female Common Ragweed. The ragweeds almost always have both male and female flowers with most of them being male.
