Oooh! Can I have some wild senna seeds when they go to seed? I have wanted to plant it but haven't found a good source. What an awesome plant!

![]() I've read that there is a native dayflower with 3 petals...but I've yet to encounter it.

![]() Just saw my parents partridge pea blooming. I put the seeds out in random places in their garden. In the last picture, on the top left. Is that milkweed? maybe Poke Milkweed? Nice looking patch there too.

I finally tuned into this thread...about half-way through (where I'd left off way back when). I even had to switch to linear mode so that I could view them more quickly. Every year I say I'll add my photos as things bloom...and I've yet to do that. ~sigh~

Yes rB that is common milkweed. That photo has cherry, maypop, tuliptree, shining sumac, Carolina buckthorn, goldenrod, and a mess of other stuff. That area is on the edge between the field and the woods by the sinkhole so it gets a some moisture. To the left of the photo is a big blackberry and pokeweed thicket that the birds hang out in.

![]() As for ironweed...I put some in last year...over the past few weeks I've seen one huge stem that must be at least 6 ft. tall...Today I went to take pictures of the cup plant blooms, and decided to take a shot of the buds forming on the tall stem--that is when I discovered it is not ironweed (but, luckily, I did find a very short, three stemmed ironweed nearby..so I didn't lose it). It only took me about thirty seconds to rack my brain...and I remembered what else I'd put in there--now I have to search for the name, since it didn't come to me...just the "mop-top" flowers that this native will have once it does bloom. --Back from searching: Common Wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia) That is what I thought was the New York ironweed.

Until someone does, do you know how to e-mail yourself the a photo from your phone? That is what I was doing (tedious for a lot of photos, but it works)...that is, until I got Jeff to help. He just connected the phone to the USB port through a cable.

I call it dayflower too dap. I have the Asiatic kind. It is so invasive. I pull it out. Yes there is a native dayflower with 3 blue petals. I have never seen the native type here.
