This is Common Vipers Bugloss "Echium vulgare", I love the colors on this plant, it has a semi-thistle like fuzz that can irritate some one who is sensitive. The pollen from this plant is blue!

Sumac, bees love this stuff, not sure of the species, apparently their are many including poison ivy.

Common Milkweed, "Asclepias syriaca".

White Clover, "Trifolium repens", stuff is everywhere.

Alsike Clover, "Trifolium hybridum", apparently this is NOT a hybrid, its name is derived from a town in Sweden, according to wikipedia.com.

Red Clover, "Trifolium pratense".

Sweet White clover, "Melilotus albus", this isn't a true clover, its a legume.

Birds Vetch, "Vicia cracca", stunning purple flowers!

Bird's-Foot Trefoil, "Lotus corniculatus", also known as Bird's-Foot Deervetch.
