Some of the flowers you find at the Hort Gardens came in on their own. They weren't planted but still they are worth consideration. This is Dame's Rocket (Hesperis matronalis), a common weed in Lafayette. Find it growing in the garden near Marsteller St. Picture taken May 18, 2009.Link to Dame's Rocket:
The plant pictured above is butterweed (Packera glabella). This butterweed is growing outside the northeast corner of the greenhouse building, in the area where some ornamental grasses are planted. Picture taken May 18, 2009.

The plant pictured below is one of the wild mustards, and it is very common around Lafayette. It is Sinapis arvensis. You can find it growing near the west door of the Horticulture Building. This picture was taken May 9, 2009, by now most of the flowers have gone to seed, but today you can still see a bit of yellow.
