Weekly Walk July 29 2009
My corner of the Earth is so lush right now! It seems things are coming faster than I can photograph and/or eat them!
Hostas
There are wild flowers as well as things I have planted.
lots of wild Asters
This below is Engleman’s Ivy, and grows everywhere around here. I think it is spectacular! Its form is lovely during spring and summer and fall, in summer it gets clouds of blooms and then in fall turns a stunning red.
Black Raspberries are spreading, sown by the birds every year as they sit on fences.
These grow all over in the grass, hugging the ground and avoiding the mower. I love to see a subtle carpet of them on the lawn.
Don't know what these are, but they are sure weird and wonderful!
These fill the creek during summer, and don't always bloom. This year we are in luck, although they seem to be blooming at different times rather than en masse as before.

Trillium Grove Farm is where I am living my gardening dream and my personal ideals of working with nature and respecting the earth. This blog captures my garden and landscaping projects: I am interested in establishing woodland gardens, cultivating organic vegetables, planting trees of all sorts, and I have a weakness for native plants, lavender and lillies. I favour planting with diversity and then letting nature find the right balance rather than interfering with chemicals and monoculture. …I even plant extra for the critters.
I hope you’ll join me on my garden path!

The pictures are wonderful, thank you. I believe the unidentified “weird and wonderful” plant in the picture is spotted knapweed, an invasive plant. Pull it(root and all) before it comes to seed.
Hi PlantLady, I’m just ‘strolling around’ the blogosphere and realized I haven’t visited you in ‘ages’!! Your wildflowers are just lovely…I wish I had the land to have some. I kind of need to stick with specific perennials here in my ‘suburban’ neighborhood. You take wonderful photos and your collages look great! I probably should make mine a bit smaller, as I use up a lot of ‘space’ with my larger photos! Hope August is going well for you;-)
Love the wildflowers and great that you chose to photograph them.
