I've been finding these in the grass on our two cloverleafs - I like them so (like the nut I am) I'm cultivating 'em.

Haven't a clue what kind of ferns these are - and I could be wrong about calling them ferns - for all I know they might be terrible weeds I shouldn't be seen with:

Hi Carly,
"Those Ferns" are your "Yarrow or Achillea"......
Just new plants coming out of the ground...

Watch the "wild white" ones, they can be aggressive in the ground!!!!

Weezie

The flower's themselves are pretty..
Especially the pink or dark pink/red ones'...
*the red one's don't seem to be as aggressive*

You know it's those feathery ones I meant, don't you - I didn't mean the other. The stuff that's shaped like purslane.

I took the little feathers and put them in a spot in a little rock garden I'm working on.

Weezie - you were right - I just went to look at it - yarrow.

Oh, boy - well, I got lots of it - and I'm moving it from the grass into a slope where I'm putting in a rock garden (nothing that complicated - I'll be growing mostly rocks right now)

Hee hee! Gotta' laugh at myself.
