I need a place to keep track of the plants on the property. So, here it is.
Henbit Dead-Nettle, Lamium amplexicaule. Edible forb in the mint family. Photo from February 25, 2024.
Oaks:
Two more non-native flowers, one pink and one blue:
Erodium cicutarium, Common Stork’s Bill. A non-native geranium introduced to N. America from Eurasia in the 18th C. So, how many generations does it take to be called a native? Photo from May 19, 2024.
Veronica persica, Birdeye speedwell. Another non-native, this one from the plantain family, in the front yard. Photo from May 19, 2024
Chorizanthe staticoides, Turkish Rugging. A native groundcover in the buckwheat family. Photo from June 15, 2026
Acmispon americanus, Spanish Clover. An abundant low weed in the yard, this is a native legume. Also called American bird’s-foot trefoil. Photo from June 12, 2026.
