Wildflower Wednesday, October 25, 2017

On the fourth Wednesday of each month we celebrate Wildflower Wednesday!

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, September 7, 2017
Isn't this a pretty wildflower? You may not like it so much when you know that it is...

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, September 22, 2017
Desmodium - Beggars Lice! It has been called Nature's Velcro for the seed's ability to stick
to anything that it comes in contact with.

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, September 27, 2017





From the shape of its leaves, I think this is Desmodium canescens, Hoary Tick Trefoil. As a member of the Pea family, it is a valuable plant for maintaining wildlife habitat.

Happy Wildflower Wednesday!
