They can be found along roadways. If you have permission you can go to to old abandoned houses and can find many plants at houses that they are going to tear down. I would recommend "Petersons Wildflower Book." It helps you ID plants. This will help you know when they flower and to help you make sure you don' get an invasive plant that is more work than pleasure.
