| Red Trillium |
| Trilliums are a common wildflower in the north county, usually in scattered colonies but occasionally covering large areas of the forest floor. Trilliums demand moist, very humus rich soil in wooded areas. Best areas receive full sun until tree leaves fill out, stay moist but are never saturated. |
| Trillium erectum L. |
| Common Mullein |
| Verbascum thapsus |
| Biennial, common in poor soil, waste places. Although most consider mullein a weed, when given the same care as other garden plants, Mullein will grow to be a very dramatic foliage plant with its silver-gray leaves and its sturdy, towering height. |
| The more common one, Daucus carota, the roadside weed in all 50 states, is considered an invasive pest in many areas, so probably should not be planted, although you may end up with it naturally in your meadow. This species is also called Bishop's Flower, and is an annual, while the more common one is biennial. This species is not invasive, but it can be toxic to animals, so keep that in mind. Very easy to grow, and great for cutting. |
| Queen Anne's Lace Daucu carota |
| Golden Rod |
| Solidago |
| In late summer and fall goldenrods can be seen easily almost anywhere you look. No more invasive than some perennials, goldenrods can add a nice touch of late season yellow to a garden. |
