Description
During the spring season in this part of Missouri, the fields are blanketed in purple wildflowers. The flower that creates this effect is henbit, a member of the mint family. Henbit is considered a noxious weed by farmers, but those of us who do not have to deal with it in our fields, find it to be one of the best parts of spring. And as an added bonus, henbit is edible.
The gumdrop looking trees on the horizon are Bradford Pears, a native of China and Viet Nam that were introduced to North America by the U.S. National Arboretum. Originally, the thornless varieties of these trees were sterile and incapable of reproducing because the flowers could not be cross pollinated with each other. As time went by newer varieties were introduced and the new ones were able to cross pollinate with the earlier versions resulting in the tree gaining pest status in some areas and developing some nasty thorns in the process. There are some other drawbacks to the use of Bradford Pears as ornamentals. One of the most notorious is that they smell like dead fish. I always try to enjoy them from a distance.
The trees in the picture had not quite bloomed out yet when this was shot. When they finish they will be covered in white flowers and are a striking addition to the landscape.

Wonderful description. Pretty flowers. American Chestnuts have nasty horns too but they smell better. v
William Fields replied:
Daniel, thanks very much for your kind words and support. I imagine many Missourians would prefer the aroma of the American Chestnut; )
