Illinois bundle flower
These flowers are less than half an inch across. They are common enough on the roadside. Proper name Desmanthus illinoensis. The leaves are mimosa-like. When they fruit, they have very characteristic twisted seed pods.
The extra shows an elderberry flower with a beetle, a Soldier beetle, Chaeliognathus spp. These are to be encouraged as they eat aphids and are welcome in the rose garden!!
A much better day, warm, dry and B out mowing. A never ending job!
