Sprouted Seed Nuts

The seed nuts placed in pots in a previous posting  have emerged and are growing.
The following two pictures show the same box from the previous post filled with small trees – the Chinese chestnuts are in the back rows and the pecans are in the front.

Butterfly Food

There are lots of plants scattered around for the butterflies to consume as in the following two pictures. When I mow a field I often skip around the milkweed plants and leave them standing.

Here is another flower that is about 15 inches tall and that pops up at scattered places.
