sheep sorrell

Rainy. I have been interested in Vermont wildflowers for over two years. I have been trying to see all the Vermont wildflowers, tracking them down, and checking them off, kind of like big game hunting for vegetarians. Awhile ago, I took a special overnight trip to Craftsbury, over 100 miles away, in search of some exotic wildflowers. After I got back, I was out mowing, and spotted something interesting in the asparagus patch. It was sheep sorrell, one that had eluded me all these years. It was all of 50 feet from the back door. Part of the problem I think was that I hadn't read the description carefully enough. I was looking for something 2-3 feet tall. It was more like 8-10 inches high.
