wild flower with blue flowers and small thorns
Comments (4)The description of this blue flower was so intriguing that I kept checking back to see if anyone ID'd it so was glad to see David's answer. . A photo of Blue Waterleaf/Hydrolea ovata is on the Wildflower Center website. I can see a family resemblance to the native waterleaf I grew in Illinois (Hydrophyllum virginianum), but no spines grew out of that flower!

Comments (6)How do I do it? Ha ha. I googled Australian monocot wild flower and looked at the pictures! 😉 No skill involved whatsoever. Well, I suppose I did see from the leaves and seed pods that it was a monocot with bulbish tendencies....See MoreName this North Carolina Wild Flower, blooming now.
Comments (9)The flowers don't look like Spiranthes. They are bell shaped and no leaves--I dug around through the other weeds and grasses growing with it and it is just a stalk of flowers. Any other thoughts? I have tried looking this up in The Audubon Field Guide to North American Wildflowers and it looks like Colicroot but much shorter and no basil leaves so I don't think that is it....See MoreThree wild flowers
Comments (6)I know nothing about Spergula, but the other two definitely have the potential to spread far and wild. If they will depends on your growing conditions: your soil and your climate. On my property similar to yours looking Pinks are everywhere, as for Potentilla I pull it up all the time....See MoreVulture61
