June nature journal



There is so much to see on a walk in June,
here are a few of my pictures and notes...



robin's nest
::robins rarely use the same nest for two consecutive broods::

wild roses along the hedgerow {unknown}
::I gathered their beautiful red rose hips last winter for decorating::

birdsfoot trefoil {Lotus corniculatus L.}
::A remnant from our hayfield::


common daisy {Chrysanthemum leucanthemum}
::Also called the Ox-eye or Field Daisy::


black-eyed susan {Rudbeckia serotina}
::Named after Linnaeus' old professor, Olaf Rudbeck::


purple milkweed {Asclepia purpurascens}
::Much favored by butterflies, hence the name Butterfly-weed::

It's always sad to see June go.
