The wild geranium are growing along the road, so it is okay for them to spread there.<br /><br />Interesting about the elderberry wine too, Bobbie. I always wondered if the wine was a figment of someone's imagination. :) There is a tree someone told me was elderberry on Lot 4 down there, but it is completely different. I am going to do a "weed" tour in GA when we get back down there. We use a lot of those weeds in our collage art. I will need your help in identifying them.ronandrosi.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18017561625133075475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042675758659970653.post-80702519003473874272010-06-19T22:43:53.751-07:002010-06-19T22:43:53.751-07:00The second, little pink flowering weed is a type o...The second, little pink flowering weed is a type of wild geranium. It can be very invasive if you let it go to seed. I actually planted some because I thought it was so pretty. I was sorry.<br />The one you call Johnny jump up is actually a very special vine called Twin Flower. It's scientific name is Linnaea borealis, named by the famous Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus. It was his favorite flower and the only one he gave his name to.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1042675758659970653.post-23615513485958368972010-06-19T12:23:29.674-07:002010-06-19T12:23:29.674-07:00What beautiful "weeds" you have.

I'm just still amazed at the beautiful scenery you have there. <br /><br />For what it's worth - Many years ago I was doing some typing for a lady in Charleston, SC who was writing a cook book and she had some homemade eldeberry wine and it was actually some of the best wine I've ever tasted. Not sure where the elderberries came from.Bobbienoreply@blogger.com
