Walking…

I go out walking….
Saw potato vine, skull cap, and an entire field of blackeyed susans!

Wild potato vine is known as man of the earth, manroot, wild sweet potato, and wild rhubarb and is native to North America. It is a twining plant of woodland verges and rough places with heart-shaped leaves and funnel-shaped white flowers with a pinkish throat.

Skullcap is a flowering plant of the mint family used in traditional medicine. Supplements may provide health benefits, including improved mood, reduced inflammation, and anticancer effects. But research continues on possible side effects.

Rudbeckia, commonly called Black-eyed Susan, is a classic perennial flower that shows off bright yellow, gold, or bronze flowers with striking dark brown centers. Black-eyed Susan is an easy-to-grow North American wildflower that's excellent for attracting butterflies, bees, and other pollinating insects.  Other common are brown-eyed Susan, brown betty, gloriosa daisy, golden Jerusalem, English bull's eye, poor-land daisy, yellow daisy, and yellow ox-eye daisy.
