I was walking the dog last week after a morning rain and I came across these beautiful purple flowers. I am not sure what they are but they caught my eye.
Now these next ones I am pretty sure are Black-eyed Susans. They belong to the sunflower family and are quite common where I live in the southern USA.
Thanks for reading and if you are interested in nature and the great outdoors follow me and look for upcoming posts about wild edibles and many other topics soon. All pictures are original and taken by me.

Native Americans in the past have used these yellow and black flowers as medicine to treat snakebites, earaches, intestinal worms, and even venereal disease.

Hi, as per your request, here is your invitation to the Minnows Accelerator Project (MAP) chatroom.
You will initially be welcomed as a New MAPster! Please post your recent articles and when one makes it into a "Six of the Best" contest you will then have full access to further interact, collaborate and promote your work. See you there!
Thanks I haven't set up or used discord yet but I will be talking to you on it soon. Thanks again I appreciate what you guys do.
Thanks. As you can see, we do have posts, but discussions and making plans can't always be done within post comments, hence a lot of support happens in the chatrooms :-)
