I found these pictures of flowers that I took during the fall. I'm a lot bigger fan of the spring ephemerals than other wildflowers. Maybe because they're the first ones to appear, or because so many of the autumn ones look so much the same. There seem to be five million species of goldenrods. Ten million asters. But in the winter I start craving wildflowers of any sort. And unlike the Ontario Wanderer, who seems to have the uncanny ability to find any number of blooms in winter... in Canada... all I've got is these memories from the computer.
A
Helianthus. Or maybe
Heliopsis. Or something.
Cardinal flower (
Lobelia cardinalis). Lots of people have this one in their garden. It really is this red! In the wild it seems to like damp places.
Something in the aster family.
Ironweed (
Vernonia sp.) & goldenrod (
Solidago sp.).
