OK, I cheated a little on this one. My wife and I are slowly replacing a lot of ornamental but very sterile looking grasses and such in our small backyard with flowering native plants to make the yard more bird- and butterfly-friendly. This morning we went to an annual native plant sale and picked up several more to work on some other areas. Among this morning's purchases were three of these Tickweed plants. Since they were flowering, I brought one into my studio, make that dining room, and made some images.
