Hoary mountian mint

Was out at Osbourne today. Very dry. Identified Pycnanthemum incanum, Hoary Mountian Mint, Specularia perfoliata, Venus' Looking Glass, and Delphinium ajacis, Rocket Larkspur, an escapee. At Noxubee I saw some Lyre-leafed sage, Salvia lyrata, done blooming, and Hyssop Skullcap, Scutellaria integrifolia. An unknown ragwort about, green milkweed, bull thistle, moth mullein (another alien) and showy evening primrose in the ditches all along the country roads. Driving to and fro, talking ecology. A fine day. They guy I am working with knows butterflies. We saw one called "Dog face" and also a swallowtail. Done by one, and back to work on prepping the back porch. We are almost ready to paint the master bedroom.
