Wasn't someone talking about Tulip Trees awhile back? Well the flowers are falling from my tree in the front yard!! They fall all over the walkway! Its raining flowers over here! :>)
The stems are like stalks & when cracked look hollow. I had a plant with yellow blooms in this area & thought it was called a touch me not? Duh Now~~so many??? (of something?!)
I like those tulip tree flowers. They're kind of cool. I also like your clay chimes. And those plants still look like touch me not's to me. I have some out back, too.

OK Just had to be sure. I suspected that but wow so many now!!! That could be trouble? I think I recall the bees loved the little yellow blooms? I might cut some down?
Love the windchimes.........that would have been a great trash to treasure item for my garden club program!!! Wish you had posted this earlier...then I could have copied it ;o)
I haven't had touch-me-nots in years. Great profilic old fashioned plant. Hubbys grandmother used to have them in her garden.
I have the tulip trees too...in the woods alongside my driveway. Unusual flowers and leaves...pretty! I thought the mystery plant was jewelweed (in the impatiens family) which grows wild and often near poison ivy. It's considered a cure for poison ivy but I've never tried it. It has orangey flowers. http://www.altnature.com/jewelweed.htm
