Wildflowers on the Greenways

All but three of these photos were made today as I biked along both the Stones River Greenway and the Shelby Bottoms Greenway. They are just one of many reasons I enjoy biking the greenways. Plus today I again saw an Indigo Bunting, just not a very good photo yet of this beautiful bird that doesn't stay still long.
The first of Spring - Wood Sorrel in front of Redbuds
And yes this is the only one that was shared earlier.
But has to be a part of the flowers post! :-)
And sad to announce that they are turning this beautiful spot into a dog park.

Common Daylily, shot last summer in July

Wood Sorrel up close

Red and White Clover
If you click image you can see difference in leaves & flowers

Beardtongue
This could be Smooth or Long Sepal

Smooth Vetch

Japanese Honeysuckle
Smells good but a vicious invasive species not good for local plants

Nodding Thistle
Another invasive species not good for local wildflowers

What a joy to ride by all these flowers 3 times a week!
And there will be new ones during the summer. 
All of these were shot on my little Canon Powershot pocket camera
