Here is another post from the spring of 2010. A large Swallowtail Butterfly pauses for some nectar on the Dame’s Rockets.

The Dame’s Rockets get ready to launch. These wildflowers, a purple member of the mustard family, are a delight in the garden.

Every year I allow most of whatever grows in one of my gardens to just grow (I have taken out poison ivy and seriously invasive weeds). I've planted a few things here as well as sown seeds. It is a shady spot I call my wildflower "garden." Generally a lot of the same things come up like these Dames Rockets and the self sowing Forget Me Nots out of focus in the background.

Dames Rockets, which grow wild in my garden, provide a tapestry of purple highlighted by the spring green sunlit Hostas.
