A Rose tells the story of an abandoned house once being a beloved home with a tended yard.

Queen Anne’s Lace – now a wildflower was brought to the new world as a garden flower. As a kid I enjoyed cutting one putting it in water with food coloring watching the bloom change colors as it took up the water.

Not sure what this is… locust I think very sweet smelling and on a tree.

More of this unknown…

    I adore wild flowers. I actually like them better than domestic blooms.

      Many of the common wild flower in the Appalachians were brought to North America as domestics. Queen Ann’s Lace and chicory are predominate ones that come to mind. I am with you I do enjoy them very much many more so that over done domestics – kinda like a French poodle with that strange hair cut or a fun pound dog that loves to follow you every where. Give me the pound puppy any day.

      Oh I know I love the beauty of flowers wild or cultivated they add that splash of fashionable color to the green.
