Flowers...Everywhere!!
Photographing wildflowers can be fun but challenging. Even more challenging though is correctly identifying our captured beauties. There are many reliable sources on-line and in print to I.D. the flowers and plants we find but this one's got me stumped! I can't find it anywhere in my list of sources. These tiny ground-level flowers were photographed a few weeks ago in eastern Maryland. ...anyone have any ideas?

Bob, I think it may actually be concidered a weed called red dead nettle. Check this out: http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&hl=en&q=red+dead+nettle

Todd is right. They are taking over my lawn.

Those are some pretty weeds there Bob. I have a bunch of pretty yellow flowered weeds mixed with the dandelions by my house. The bees really like them but they will be mowed down in a day or two.

Thanks Todd, Stephanie and Carlton for helping me out with this I.D. (Perhaps I should have Googled "weed I.D.'s" instead of scrolling through a ga-zillion pages of purple/lavender/pink flowers.) Bob
