Flora!!

Today was all about identifying some of the flora blossoming on our property.

Using texaswildflowerpictures.com, we identified

basil bee balm
queen anne's lace
rose gentian

queen anne's lace must be differentiated from hemlock. very carefully. quintuple-checked.

Learning a lot and having fun! Looking forward to aesthetic,culinary, medicinal uses of these and other blossoms.

It's not too late to come for a wildflower picking visit :)
