My wise mother advised me to find a book on OH wildflowers to help in the identification process. Instead a web search turned up answers by the names of horsenettle, bee balm, spotted touch-me-not (gorgeous!) also known as jewelweed, and Pennsylvania smartweed (which I thought was lady's thumb). The yellow wildflowers are harder to identify for sure without having them right in front of me.

Our flower collection (part one)
This spring I have been keeping a collection of the flowers blooming in our new home. With each passing week, new ones appeared to my great delight. Some are familiar and others are not, but they are all beautiful and remind us of our great Creator who made all things. If you know the names of any that are not already labeled, please leave a comment so that we can learn their names too. Thanks!
