~ Fun with Herbs ~

I made this fun herbal bouquet for my niece's birthday. It has Daisy Fleabane , Self Heal , Wild Carrot/Queen Anne's Lace and another purple flower I can't identify yet. I'm enjoying my herbal adventures this year , there's so much to learn and so much you can do with them.

*~ Check-out my new Solar Dryer ~*

I've been busy gathering Red Clover and Self Heal this week. I visited http://theessentialherbal.blogspot.com/ , she spoke about putting herbs in paper bags , then placing them in a car or truck to dry. Soooo ..... I thought I would give it a try , we have a couple of old trucks sitting in the field that DH just can't part with , the perfect new solar dryer (LOL).

Plants I'm trying to Identify ...........

I think this plant maybe Fleabane aka Horse Weed , still researching it.
Update ~ It's Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus)

This plant has pale purple blooms.
I'm still researching this plant , but I think it's Blue Lobelia inflata. Will update again when I'm a 100% sure.

It is Lobelia Inflata aka Indian Tobacco.

This plant grows low to the ground , the flowers are white with 4 petals.
Still haven't found out anything on this plant.


This plant has yellow blooms , the flower has 5 petals.
Tansy thought this might be St. John's Wort . We've had very little rain the last few weeks and by the time I got around to trying Tansy's suggestions , the blooms had dried out , so it's hard to tell. I'm still trying to make a positive i.d. on this plant.



Purple Blooms




This plant hasn't bloomed yet , it grows in the garden.

The last 3 photos show a vine I trying to identify , the vine has small pale yellow trumpet ~ shaped flowers.

If you can identify any of these plants , please leave a comment !
