This time it is mullen. And whacky me allows it to grow in the beds around here, especially if it was courteous enough to place itself to the back of the bed. But sometimes I even let it go in some of the oddest positions, making my beds appear even more unattended than they actually are. I love weeds. Well most of them any way.Lannyhttp://www.itsthedirt.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-14732451214399676142010-07-12T01:18:28.111-05:002010-07-12T01:18:28.111-05:00I snapped a photo and am sending it to you by Emai...I snapped a photo and am sending it to you by Email -- I think it is like that mullen<br /><br />(from my walk on Saturday morning)Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-72765179584757531732010-07-11T19:18:00.364-05:002010-07-11T19:18:00.364-05:00As kids we called mullen cow's tails just beca...As kids we called mullen cow's tails just because we weren't too smart being southern Iowa farm kids.

I love wild flowers and herbs and anything nature. We used to get in our land cruiser on Sunday afternoons and drive around the country roads looking for flowers to pick and then hang upside down to dry.

Better to be pale then irritated. <br />I noticed so many wildflowers along the roadway yesterday. It seems to be an exceptional year for them. Absolutely lovely. I just wish the highway department would share my enthusiasm and quit mowing them down.Raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858158707328118375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-42362519261507287902010-07-10T11:24:32.352-05:002010-07-10T11:24:32.352-05:00So who found the Purple Prairie Clover first - - y...So who found the Purple Prairie Clover first - - you or Chance?
