Wildflowers in July and Clover Blossom Vegan Soap

Red Clover Blossoms

July in Wisconsin

Summertime is finally here and I am enjoying temps in the upper 70s and 80s.  It's a pet peeve of mine that just when we're finally starting to thaw out from the long winter, the AC in stores is cranked up (or down) so that you need a sweater!

But in the wonderful outdoors, it's the perfect time of year to find wild red clover in NW Wisconsin.  Wildflowers abound, and if you scroll down, you'll see some of the many photos I took on Saturday's walk along our road. There is such variety. I'm talking about the 'weeds' in the ditches along a one-mile stretch! Just when I thought I'd taken enough photos, I'd spot another type of wildflower and had to take a photo of that one too. It does become an addiction, I think.

And now, what you've all been waiting for!  (Wasn't that from Rocky and Bullwinkle? I heard Rocky's voice when I typed it.)

In the allium family, I suspect (3.5 inches in diam.) and daisies

Daisies, of course

According to TexWisGirl, this is 'Devil's Paintbrush'

which I'd always known as 'Indian Paintbrush.'

New little maples

Sweet Little Buttercup??

Morning Glory

Pink, Wild Rose

Speedwell or Treadwell (I think)

Clover

Trefoil

More Trefoil

White yarrow

If you know that I've got any of these identified incorrectly, please let me know in a comment. This was probably about 3/4 of the different wildflower species I photographed. There are more.
