    It was a terribly hot day, and I left a bit after 3pm and didn't get there until 5:30 or so. I didn't spend very long looking for wildflowers, because of the heat and mosquitos, but I found a few along the trail, and a few more in Mark's garden.

Wild Madder, Gallium mollugo  Sm    Med    Lg  
Description : This is smooth, and the leaves are in eights, at least lower down. I wouldn't have noticed it except that I stopped for the knapweed, and the flowers were surprisingly showy and scented.

I picked up some of the little round burrs on my socks.

Selfheal, Prunella vulgaris  Sm    Med    Lg
