blue-eyed grass, & more

Today while waiting for 1.5hrs to get my car fixed, I decided to hike along 
the country roads where the repair shop is located.  And boy did I have 
fun!  I found lots of wild flowers (native & otherwise) that I had only 
ever seen before in books and/or internet.

My favorite was blue-eyed grass.  There was a small patch of it with just a 
couple blooms left, but loaded with ripening seed pods.  I found one pod 
that had black spots inside (presumably ripe seeds) and brought it home to 
plant them in my garden.  I also saw native Geum (avens), Ruellia (wild 
petunia), Solanum (horse-nettle), Dianthus (pink), Apocynum (dogbane), 
Calystegia (bindweed), and a couple unrecognizable Asclepias (milkweeds) 
not quite yet in bloom.

What a great way to spend time waiting for car repairs!
