More Yellow

Another favorite yellow flower, Goldenrod.

 

Yellow

Another field of yellow flowers.  These are Yellow Crownbeard.  They always look messy because the petals are all askew.

 

Yellow flower season

The fall is the time when all the yellow flowers come out.  There are so many daisylike yellow flowers I can't tell you what this one is.

 

Buttercup

What says spring more than a field of buttercups?

 

Yellow fire

The forsythia looks like it's on fire.

The forsythia is blooming like fire.

 

Yellow Bellied Sap Sucker

His name sounds like an insult, but he's not worried.  This yellow bellied sap sucker came visiting the backyard.

It's hard to see, but he really does have a tiny bit of yellow on his belly.

 

Pearl crescent

This Pearl crescent butterfly was enjoying the yellow crownbeard.

 

Yellow crownbeard

These flowers always look messy.  They only have a few petals so they don't look right.  Like a symmetrical daisy that has lost its petals.

It's like a forest of yellow when you walk through the field.

 

Happy

How can you not be happy when you look at a sunflower?

As I stare at this picture I just keep following the patterns around.  

Rose, extremely close up

Georgia O'Keefe knew how sensual flowers are up close.  

Yellow Jessamine

In honor of neighboring South Carolina's primary today, Yellow Jessamine, the state flower of South Carolina.  It grows well here too.

PS: Happy leap year day also!

Pricing transparency

Stuck in traffic, I read this notice on the back window of a cab.  They think of everything.

There is a bill in Congress to make hospitals post their fees.  Will their list look something like this?

Achooo

Appropriately named, the Sneezeweed is in bloom. (here)

And the Yellow Crownbeard (here)

This field will make you sneeze just looking at it!

Lakeside

Yellow flowers on the bank of Falls Lake.
