7. Named for a delicious vegetable.. I wouldn't try this one..the smell would make me sick!
8. My dad was good at picking these all summer long and making necklaces out of them.
9..I think this is a beautiful tree.. but watch out.. it's poisonous!
10. I don't like to run in the grass and step on one of these...OOUCH!! The pretty little flower on top will become brown and in the winter if you walk by, it will stick to your coat or pants.
11.Pure as driven snow.. another one named for where we live.

13. This one is just 'itching' to get on your skin..

16.This plant makes little fish shaped seed pods that when you open them, the feathers all fly
17. There is a row of these trees here.. the deer love them. They eat the fruit and we don't mind.
18. The jelly from this fruit is awesome! Wish we had more of the plants.
