Cherry tomatoes

Off the topic of wildflowers, on the topic of what’s in season locally: beautiful little tomatoes at the Dover Farm.

Charles River at loosestrife time

This is the season when the nasty invasive Purple Loosestrife is on such beautiful display along the marshy river banks. I took these on a quiet Saturday morning and it was about as lovely a sight as you could ever see. (With mallow and water lilies.)

Bonus picture: waiting patiently on the other side of the road…

Oswego Tea

A garden plant escaped from cultivation in New England. Growing at Centennial out in the poison ivy; I shot this in Dover Center. Hummingbird favorite. Mint family.

Oswego Tea, Bee Balm, Monarda, Bergamot (Monarda didyma)

Two yellow daisies that need ID

These are by the Dover post office. Two different kinds of yellow daisies — similar flowers but very different leaves. I can NOT figure out what they are. Maybe they’re not wild. Ideas?
