Fennel Flower
Foeniculum vulgare
Last summer was my first time trying to grow Fennel. It wasn’t a huge success as I had to transplant it and it was in a part of my yard that was hot, red clay. But, she did well enough to get a couple good late season flower photos.

Milli End
Apheloria virginiensis
So, I’ve been neglecting this blog for a bit. Here’s the thing, when it’s warm I’m outside finding neat critters. I’ll do more to post all my summer photos during the colder months when I’m stuck inside. So, with winter around the corner I thought I’d get back into posting-mode.

Flower of Goatsbeard
Tragopogon pratensis
Hooray for weeds! This little yellow one was growing around Pilot Mountain in North Carolina where we go to rock climb. This flower is known as the Flower of Goatsbeard or Meadow Salsify.
