A slice of Ontario's wildlife and wildflowers in mid July
Largest square: A young and energetic hairy woodpecker eating peanuts. Working clockwise: heal-all (Prunella vulagaris), crown vetch (Coronella varia), milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), musk mallow (Malva moschata) and purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria).
Please note that I include the botanical names because they remain the same around the world but the common names vary.

Lovely shades of lavendar. The name loosestrife always amuse's me for some reason.

beautiful flowers and I am thinking the woodpecker is laughing, his face looks like he knows something we don't
beautiful purples.
Beautiful wild flowers in my favorite color, and the wood pecker is wonderful!
So pretty and lovely the way all the colors blend.
Some of my favorite colors! and I love the little bird!
Lovely shots. I looked up the Heal-All because I found the name interesting, I had no idea it was so widely used for medicinal purposes.
The flowers are so lovely and you got a great shot of the hairy woodpecker.
"heal-all" - what a great name. I love purple loosestrife. Beautiful array of pale purples.
All of these pictures are wonderful, but I really like the one of the woodpecker.
Beautiful wildflowers. July must be a good month for purple.
The color purple! Plus a fat, sassy woodpecker. Lovely set.

Very nice collage! The flowers have wonderful colors.
This is wonderful!
I love the way you've put this together here.
It is a beautiful slice of life as we really love our summers....Michelle
