Wildflowers among us
Wildflowers can be a beautiful sight to behold. They're all around you, and it might be hard to even notice them at first.
A few of the most common
- Daisy (Bellis perennis). Daisies are hardy, low-growing plants that bloom from spring until fall. The common daisy is often used as an ornamental in gardens and flower beds. It's also edible--the leaves can be used like spinach or added to salads, while the seeds have been used as a substitute for coffee by some cultures around the world.
- Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum). This plant has small yellow flowers and bristly green leaves that grow on a tall stalk during summer months (June through September). It's best known for its seed heads; people used these to make fabric dye before synthetic dyes were invented!
More of the uncommon
A few other flowering plants you might encounter include:
- Red campion (Silene dioica), a wildflower that grows in open areas and along roadsides. It blooms from June through August, with small pink flowers that grow on stalks above its leaves.
- Lady's mantle (Alchemilla mollis), which is similar to the rose family but has smaller leaves and clusters of white flowers held by long stems at the top of each plant. It grows in moist areas such as meadows and stream banks.
- Common bird's-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), also known as bird's-foot clover or hop clover because its seed pods resemble hops when they dry out; this plant can be found growing throughout North America except for Florida and Hawaii but is most common in eastern states such as New York where it blooms during late spring through early summer months before going dormant until next year when conditions are right again!
