Field Bindweed Morning-Glory Family Convolvulus arvensis (Convolvulaceae): Similar to Hedge Bindweed [arrowhead-shaped leaves and blunt basal lobes] but leaves smaller (1-2 in.), less tapering. Flowers less than 1 inch; white or pink. Found in fields, waste places, most of northeastern/north-central North America. Blooms can be found June thru September. This is just one of many wildflower pictures taken at Herrick Lake Forest Preserve in Wheaton, Illinois.

Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus): There are many wild flower pictures to be taken among the daisy family. They seem to come in wide variety of shapes and sizes.

This asterlike flower, unlike the asters, starts blooming in spring. Rays more numerous (40-70). It is hairy and leafy; leaves strongly toothed. This species, E. strigosus. has fewer leaves, most of which are not toothed or only slightly toothed. The hairs lie closer to the stem, do not spread. Found in fields, roadsides, waste land, throughout North America. This picture was taken at Herrick Lake in Wheaton, Illinois.

Ragweed

Queen Anne's Lace

Clover Wildflower

Ragweed or Goldenrod is one of the biggest culprits when it comes to allergies. Many will break out in sneezes, runny eyes and runny nose and the sale of allergy medicine goes up during this flowering season.

Queen Anne's Lace is maybe one of nature's most delicate of flowers. A closer look reveals hundreds of tiny white flowers. From a distance they look like a fine dainty doily just like the ones that decorated grandma's table. Do you remember those?

Clover, now here is one for the bees. You will often see bees flying around these little flowers. If you happen to have them growing in your yard, they are the flowers to be careful not to step on. Many a young ones have come running to mom crying because of a bee sting.

Mildweed

White Wildflower

Trilliad

Fragrant Milkweed is very memorable when you find it along your walk. Herrick lake has it growing all along the lake. It makes the walk quite pleasant the dainty fragrance. As a child I remember my first encounter with milkweed. I was fascinated by the white liquid that poors from the stems. That's where the name comes from.

This middle wild flower appears to be white in this picture. But it can actually be found under green flowers in your wildflower book. They grow on long stems and like wooded areas.

And finally is the Trilliad. These flowers are called trilliads because of their three pedal flowers. They are common in both white and red. They are very tiny but they cover the floor of the forest in early spring.
