So right where I saw the Wood lilies were all kinds of Brown-eyed Susans (Gailardia artista). Brown-eyed Susans are quite common in some areas and again are widely spread across North America. They were quite thick in the area I visited. So Brown-eyed Susans are almost as favorite as the Wood lilies. It was a bonus to find them while I was looking for Wood lilies.

I'm ashamed to admit how few flowers I recognize. These blooms are certainly attractive.
ReplyDeleteMost people know very few. I'm probably stuck after a dozen.
DeleteHave those Black Eyed Susans in the garden! Did you know that most wild flowers started out as ornamental flowers? That's why they are so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteoh, they are brown-eyed! so cool! we see the coneflowers here that some folks call black-eyed susans.
ReplyDeleteYes , we have cone flowers here too. there are various local names.
DeleteIt is always a treat to walk among the wild flowers.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. If you want a real treat walk above the tree line.
DeleteSuch a happy flower! I like the sunny yellow color.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly have personality.
DeleteThe light may be awful at this time of year but the flowers make up for it.
ReplyDeleteThe tremendous variety makes for something very attractive.
DeleteI love the things I see from the seat of my bike! These wild flowers are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI do lots of cycling but i must admit that I miss a lot from the bike.
DeleteNice flowers, Red. I am a fan of wildflowers and never fail to get pictures of them during the summer on my trips. :-)
ReplyDeleteI noticed quite a few of your mountain flowers.
DeleteI like wild flowers. It would be nice to go for a bike ride on the lookout for such pretty flowers.
ReplyDeleteWalking is better for finding flowers. I rode to the area because I had seen the Wood lilies there before.
DeleteDelicate little beauties.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping Red.
I will be away until for a few weeks fishing.
CAtch lots!
DeleteThese are such lovely flowers. They are such a happy color : )
ReplyDeleteYour the second person who referred to them as happy colors.
Deletei LOVE THE WILDFLOWERS Red - there is just so much beauty and beautiful colour. My backyard is splashed like a paintbrush. Our season is short, so enjoy them while we can. Nice colourful photos :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll bet you walk through your flowers several times a day.
DeleteVery pretty I love yellow flowers:)
ReplyDeleteHey, that's cool that you have a favorite color for your flowers.
DeleteI don't think I have ever seen one of those before. Quite lovely aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThey are probably native to north America.
DeleteYou did 20k? Well done.
ReplyDeleteI do 1000 k a year!
