Red Osier Dogwood (Cornus sericea) photographed at the Domtar Overlook section of the Bridge to Bridge Trail located in the City of Timmins Northeastern Ontario Canada
This low spreading shrub, seldom reaching more than 4 feet (1.2 m) in height, is easily identified by its red bark. It has small flat clusters of white flowers, producing white berries. Leaves are typical of dogwoods, with distinct veins running towards the tip, while buds are small and opposite.
planta forrajera que crece en casi todas las regiones templadas del globo. Lugares yermos, herbáceos, suelos arenosos, a menudo junto al mar, prados húmedos de montaña y cultivos.
Growing around the campground, this Yellow Goat's Beard (Tragopogon pratenis) grows in a bed of Redstem Stork's Bill (Erodium ciocotarium). Depending on where they grow wildflowers are either weeds or landscaping. Regardless, they add beauty wherever they are found.

The flower of choice for the Red Hat Ladies Society I bet--they love purple and red
Redstem Filaree is a wide-spread, non-native wildflower that most consider a weed. It does have some pretty flowers and is one of the first to bloom in early spring - Hieroglyphic Mountains, Yavaipai County, Arizona

Just, a very small flower on Fiesta Island. I just do not know what it's name is. ...
Update!
Erodium cicutarium, also known as redstem filaree, redstem stork's bill, common stork's-bill or pinweed, is a herbaceous annual – or in warm climates, biennial – member of the family Geraniaceae of flowering plants. It is native to Macaronesia, temperate Eurasia and north and northeast Africa, and was introduced to North America in the eighteenth century, where it has since become naturalized, particularly of the deserts and arid grasslands of the southwestern United States.
I spend loads of time and money growing plants and when I go out with the camera what plant do I like best? The weed!...Shining Cranesbill...thanks buckeye.

I love the light and translucence, rosy stems reaching out geometrically to support the developing berries. And look closely at the flower petals falling away, leaving cuplike sepals which become the upper edges of the magenta seed.
The light steaming in from the upper right creating seafoam blue spaces that complement the rosy stems and pearl-like translucent berries. Ah, Mother Nature! How do you do it?
Medinilla is a genus of about 150 species of flowering plants in the family Melastomataceae, native to tropical regions of the Old World from Africa (two species) east through Madagascar (about 70 species) and southern Asia to the western Pacific Ocean islands. The genus was named after J. de Medinilla, governor of the Mariana Islands in 1820.
They are evergreen shrubs or lianas. The leaves are opposite or whorled, or alternate in some species. The flowers are white or pink, produced in large panicles. This species is forgiving and relatively tolerant of alkaline soil, chilly nights and bright sunlight. Easy to grow unlike Medinilla magnifica which has more showy pink bracts. Highly recommended.

It's hard to believe that this innocent-looking little flower produces such obnoxious stickers. The curly-que seed pods twist their way into some long-haired dogs' coats (and your socks/shoe laces, if they're exposed, which is why we wear snow gators during the weed season) and take hours to remove. Fortunately, they don't seem to do that to Vizslas or Bloodhounds.
We used to make "scissors" out of the green seed pods when we were in grammar school. I didn't know they were called Heron's/Crane's/Stork's bill until I looked them up on the Internet, but it's very easy to see why they use those names, when you look at the green seed pods.
Photographed in the Munich Botanical Gardens. This beautiful and unique plant (Ricinus communis) is not only the source of Castor oil, but also a deadly poison (ricin).
The colors are astounding, especially wet and emblazoned with morning sunlight.
The Aechmea Blue Tango is a new hybrid developed here in So. Florida. Like many bromeliads, it can be grown indoors or outdoors, but wherever you have it.....be prepared for a performance! The light green leaves are beautiful but the flower spike is what sets this bromeliad apart from the rest. It is COBALT blue and HOT pink! It almost looks like it's plugged into a wall socket and lasts for months!

limestone jewelflower, Caulanthus glaucus, California, White Mountains, Pellisier Creek, Hammil Valley - Owens Valley drainage, elevation 1853 m (6080 ft).
One of my favorite shades of flower! Found in the same habitat as the redstem monkeyflower previously posted, this endemic mustard family member is locally common within a narrow geographic range in the southwestern Great Basin, in Inyo and Mono counties, California, and Esmeralda, Mineral, and western Nye counties, Nevada. Within this range it inhabits mostly steep rocky slopes and outcrops of carbonate (limestone, dolomite) and calcareous sediments. Here the sediments have been strongly metamorphosed.
Cornus sanguinea (common dogwood) is a native plant with a long history.
It's even been found in ancient hedgerows mingling with hawthorn and hazel. Dogwoods are fantastic in winter gardens. Their brightly coloured stems come in citrus yellow, lime, orange or fiery red.
Any day now we will be pruning out all these lovely red stems to encourage growth from the base of the plant, it will then make a nice decoration indoors too!

limestone monkeyflower, Erythranthe calcicola, California, White Mountains, Deep Springs Valley drainage, elevation 1917 m (6290 ft).
Limestone monkeyflower is a recently recognized regional endemic, limited to the northern Mojave Desert and southwestern Great Basin Desert of southeast Mono and eastern Inyo counties in California, and Esmeralda, southern Nye, and western Clark counties in Nevada. As its name reflects, it seems to be found only on rocky soils and slopes with a strong carbonate component, which happen to be very common soils within its limited geographic range. The species has been found at elevations of 915-2165 meters (3000-7100 feet).
The species usually appears only after the wettest winters in the desert, and 2017 was one of the wettest on record in this area. So much so that individuals were defying the typical short and compact habit of this species and developing tall elongated stems much resembling those of redstem monkeyflower (Erythranthe rubella).
Limestone monkeyflower was recognized as a distinct species by Naomi Fraga in 2012, after having been confused with Erythranthe (=Mimulus) montioides since its earliest collections in 1937. Its closest relative actually appears to be Erythranthe rubella, from which it differs in having calyces straight and broadly cylindric to slightly flared while in flower (vs narrowly cylindric and curved), flowers always yellow or rarely white (never magenta), largest flowers 5-9 mm across (vs 3-5 mm) with longitudinal maroon streaks (vs exclusively round or transverse spots) in the throat, styles included (vs shortly exserted), and leaves with stalked glands (vs sessile glands) and broader on average.
redstem monkeyflower, Erythranthe rubella, California, White Mountains, Pellisier Creek, Hammil Valley - Owens Valley drainage, elevation 1768 m (5800 ft).
This is a common species of open rocky habitats in the deserts and mountains of the southwestern United States and adjacent northwestern Mexico. It really shows up in wet years like this, and sometimes not at all in dry years. In between, it is often restricted to more sheltered rock crevices where moisture can concentrate.
This is one of the monkeyflower species with both pink and yellow flower color forms. Sometimes only one form is present in a population, but the other form is usually nearby, as another post will soon show.
The curved calyx and round to transverse reddish spots on the lower flower lobe are two characteristics that help separate yellow forms of this species from the very similar Erythranthe calcicola, which will also be coming up in future posts.
Back to the barn house where these ornamental grapes grow with the Boston ivy on the side of the house.
I was fascinated by these miniature grapes which I think look like blueberries and of course I loved these vibrant red stems. It's what caught my eye first!

Really small one. I found them just close the building, where I live :)
Erodium cicutarium, also known as Redstem filaree, Common Stork's-bill, is an herbaceous annual, and in warm climates a biennial member of the Geranium Family of flowering plants. It is native to the Mediterranean Basin, but it grow in all Europe, Asia and North America.
Common stork's-bill can be found in bare, sandy, grassy places both inland and around the coasts.

Fun with macros in the rain :-) Oh and YAY for wildflowers. Not native but still loved :-)
Portulacaria afra, commonly known as mini jade or elephant’s food, is native to South Africa. It’s a tough, easy-to-care-for succulent.
Mini jade is commonly grown indoors. Its red stems play attractively off emerald green leaves. The leaves often turn yellow in full sun.
Also known as common stork's bill.

"Common Stork's-bill is hairy plant of dry grasslands, and bare and sandy areas, both inland and around the coast. Its bright pink flowers appear in May and last through the summer until August. The resulting seed pods are shaped like a crane's bill (hence the name) and explode when ripe, sending the seeds, with their feathery 'parachutes', flying."
