  • Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea)

    Photographed May 5 with a Fujifilm FinePix HS10

    Beautiful little flowers that nobody ever pays any attention to, because they weave all through our lawns. They have a minty scent when they are mowed over, and then they come back with more flowers in a few days.

    For a description of the species, see the Glechoma hederacea reference page.

    Glechoma hederacea
    Photographed May 20.

    A common weed that can be spectacularly beautiful in large masses. It infests lawns, but never grows very tall, blooms prettily, and smells like mint when you mow it.
