Beeplant (Cleome serrulata)

Snow-on-the-mountain (Agaloma marginata)

Cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium)



Smartweed (Perisicaria pensylvanica)

Cucumber (Echinocystis lobata)

I went out to a State Wildlife Area on the Republican River for work this past week and saw beeplant (Cleome serrulata) with a variety of pollinators doing their thing to the beeplants, buffalobur (Solanum rostratum), and snow-on-the-mountain (Agaloma marginata). At home, along an irrigation ditch and a drainageway, we saw a smartweed (Perisicaria pensylvanica) and mock cucumber (Echinocystis lobata). Rubber rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus) is blooming now, too.
