A riot of purple (and yellow)

Went out for a walk early this morning and was struck (again) by the profusion of purple flowers in the "wilder" parts of campus. I know they are a weed, but the purple morning glories are lovely and EVERYwhere. Some fantastical thistles are also blooming this time of year, and the "dandelions" here are fearsomely protected by an army of thorns...

Dandelions on steroids?
