Actually, it may be a bush honeysuckle.The buffalo berry bush doesn't look quite like the bush he's talking about. |

FANTASTIC JOB SHERLEW!  I ran a cross mention of honeysuckle in my research but when I looked it up in my edible plant book it showed a plant that has blue berries. I will examine these plants much more closely on my next trip but I'm guessing now that bush honeysuckle is what they are. So where did they come from?

View AttachmentI hiked the trail today and seen many wonderful plants and animals. Can you ID this flower? I've never seen anything like it before. It's blue and red. You can't see the red very well in the photo  I had a long time to wait for my haircut at the mall today so I bought a book at the book store its the National Audubon Society Field Guide to Wildflowers Eastern Region. I was trying ti identify these flowers. Could this be Viper's Bugloss; Blueweed (Echium vulgare)? |

Could this be one of the Speedwells or Moth Mullein? |

I am glad that I didn't touch the Viper's Bugloss when I found it. It is what I am going to call mechanically poisonous. It has fiberglass like hairs on it that can pierce the skin and cause problems. I found it right in the middle of the trail. Lots of people walk and bike it in short pants. That little boy that I seen the last time was bare foot.

I'm glad you didn't touch it too. Is it the only specimen you saw?

If you mean of that plant no but there weren't that many. Maybe 2 or 3 others not to far from it. It really stood out to me and I never seen the likes of it before.

I just got back from another Stoneycreek River hike and I seen many amazing things and took lots of photos.
One of the amazing things that I encountered was a creature that looked part hummingbird and part crayfish. I should have several photos of it.
I'm going to lay down and rest now.

OMG Sherlew just checked my photos. I took many hoping that at least one would turnout of that crazy flying crayfish bird creature. It looks like I got 2 good shots. It's in the other ones but its blurred and you really have to search to see it. It moves much like a hummingbird.
