Another block and plants

Row 12, Block 7 - such a nice and easy block what a break after some of the ones done recently.

These purple flowers are from a plant called "Mimosa Pudica" some consider it a pest and others like it. I have seen them before but we never had them growing freely before on our land. These are growing in our wild garden area so for now they are welcome - I will see what they do and if they over take the area too much they will be banished!

I don't know the name for this wild flower (weed?) I like it though, we have three clusters of these orange flowers growing in the wild area also - I didn't plant them they just grew - does anyone know what they are? When they fully open I will take another photo - I need to get my wild flower book out and see if it is listed.

the lilies are starting to open - I have several varieties that are blooming now. This is in the wild garden also. When I was trimming out some of the trees that were growing in this area a couple weeks ago I found a new red bud tree growing - it actually wasn't new as it was already about 4 feet tall but it was spindly as it was so overwhelmed by all of the other trees growing in the area. I will need to stake it up as when I went over there today I noticed it has not popped up as I had hoped it would - the other trees had it bending to the ground which is why I had not noticed it previously. It is on the opposite side of the hill from these lilies.
