I’ve been keeping my eye on a nearby road ditch that is home to many wildflowers.  Yesterday morning I drove over there to check on things.  Here’s what’s currently on display there…

Prairie Sage/Mugwort:

July 2 (29) The plants in the last three photos are very aromatic.  They smell wonderful!

    Isn't it amazing to find all this beauty in a roadside ditch? I love to see the roadsides glowing with the colours of wildflowers.
