A walk through the woods at home - with a bonus pic at the end because *what is that* little nub poking through the birch bark on the left??

A nice patch of poverty oat grass at the edge of my neighbor’s old horse pasture 🌾 This is also the main grass in my back yard. I love it because it mainly stays small, and the tall parts are airy so no need to ever cut them down. I didn’t plant it. It is just what grows back there, along with asters, burdock, goldenrod, some horrifically weedy Saponaria/Silene variety from a garden store, white campion, wild strawberry, unidentified sedges, and shoots of big tooth poplar I am always fighting back. It’s a mess, but if I can get the weedy stuff out, it will be nice.

🌸🌼🌾🍃 A photo dump of all the rest of the plants from my mini road trip! So I can get to posting everything ELSE I’ve seen since then! 😸

Whorled loosestrife was another new one for me on my little roadtrip to Namekagon barrens & this side jaunt through the Brule Glacial Spillway SNA. I’d seen pictures and thought it might be hard to distinguish from fringed loosestrife, but in real life, they’re so different. So tiny!! 💛

These are so much cuter and sweeter than the white campion in my yard 🥰 They reminded me of Balkan catchfly at first, but the leaves are narrow and plants are smaller and flowers are puffier: bladder campion.

I tried to nudge gravel out of the way and find basal leaves but I just couldn’t really see any to help me identify this little plant. I had it narrowed down to two and settled on lyre-leaf rock cress, I think based on range maps and/or habitat, but I can’t totally remember … this is from two weeks ago.
