Their small heads
Rise proud
In mid-trail.
Delicate and fierce
They stretch their
Full miniature scale.
The risk they take
Of being
Stepped on,
Dwarfed by delicious
Access
To sun.

Is that bindweed and mayweed? Or have you other names for them?

I believe that the pink one is indeed a type of bindweed. The white with the yellow center is a type of anthemis, and the white tiny ones are, I think, conium maculatum. 🙂

Anthemis, chamomile, same family as mayweed. Conium, hemlock; gosh, I should have recognised that one; I suppose I generally rely on the purple-blotched stem and the leaves for identification. A great collection of wild flowers.

You know your stuff!!!
I know the common wild-flowers and can identify some of them (and used to be a lot better at it in high-school where my major was biology and we needed to learn botany, among other things), but I am not close to this kind of fluency as you. 🙂
It was a lovely hike that day. I was vising with family and the weather was pleasant and the winter had been rainier than usual so that the fields were blooming with wild flowers. It was delightful. 🙂

I feature a lot of wild flowers on my blog (seldom the cultivated variety). I find the smaller flower, seemingly delicate, deceptively strong. Wild flowers are survivors; garden flowers must be nurtured and protected. I’m sure there is a message there for us all.

Indeed it is!
Also, will be checking out more of the wild flowers on your blog. … I’m with you on preferring the wild variety to the cultivated one. Not that cultivated flowers aren’t sometimes gorgeous, but I gravitate toward wild ones (and I like to keep them where they grow …).
