Roadside Weeds
Aug. 4th, 2005 06:29 pmI encountered some colorful roadside weeds on my commute this morning.

Beach Rose Rosa rugosa

The fruit of Rosa rugosa: edible rose hips.
(With all these plant sex organs, this is kind of a weed porn post.)

Chicory, Cichorium intybus one of my all time favorite colors found in nature.

Butter-and-eggs, or (more fun to say) Toadflax. Linaria vulgaris

Queen Anne's Lace Dauca carota

Wild Carrot Dauca carota

Bird's Nest Dauca carota

All this holding still and taking photographs caused a dragonfly to land on me.

Once more, without the unsightly creature.

Blog-reader's corner! Identify this weed (I don't have my field guide handy).

Goldenrod Solidago sp. (what it really looks like)
Next: mullein mullein mullein!
