They are so very beautiful and smell so very nice. I can share the pictures but not the wonderful smells.
ENJOY!
 |
| Elderberry Bush. This will make edible berries that make good jam! |
 |
| Berries from the Honeysuckle Bush. Ripe is dark RED. NOT edible for us but the birds like them. |
 |
| Daisy Fleabane. Used by early settlers to chase away--fleas. |
 |
| Not sure what this one is but that is a REAL ladybug. Not an Asian Beetle, the kind that bite. |
 |
| Milkweed, the plant that the Monarch Butterfly lays it's eggs. And a REAL honeybee--they look fuzzy. Honey bees are a very important part of our natural order. They fertilize the plants to make fruit-no bees, no fruit! |
 |
| Clover. Clover smells heavenly. |
 |
| Not sure what this one is... |
 |
| Not sure here either. |
 |
| Purple Coneflower--a medicinal plant. |
 |
| Chicory. If you dig up and roast the root, it makes a coffee-like beverage. |
 |
| Cattails--a lot of these in our marsh. |
