Ruskin Wildflowers Part 6

Phasey Beans are blooming
 along the roads in July and August. 
The mowers had to go around these growing by a mailbox.

Macrophium Lathyroides

Even late summer shows off some old bloomers.
Cut Leaf Morning Glory - Merremia dissecta

I love these vines.  They grow along the ground. 

This above vine has been blooming since February.

Ruskin can grow it bigger and better. 

This is a 8 foot fence

and this is a squash plant. Wow.

Wild Cannas have been blooming all summer.

Fascinating 6 foot tall lacy bushes

covered with little yellow dew drops.

They like the wet roadsides.

Chamaecrista fascienlata

The Water Primrose can be found EVERYWHERE

 in late summer. These huge bushes

 are always loaded with blooms.

These yellow flowers are everywhere among the grasses.

The stems are maroon,

which makes them quite striking.

Such a beautiful find along the ditch.  A few blooms

had even survived the afternoon rains.

Scarlet Milkweed - Asclepias curassavica

It's the end of August and the roadside grasses

are about at their peak. This gorgeous clump

was as high as the Stop sign you see on the right.

This 6 or 7 foot Pokeweed really caught my attention.

Phytolacca Americana.

You can see in the next post,

  some with their bright red berries up close.
