Flowers of the Season+

 

Flowers of the Season

Late summer can be a wonderful time for wildflowers take a look!

Blooming Musk Thistle

The colors of this flower are so vibrant, as if it doesn’t want to let go of summer, but since it must, it wants to leave with a “bang”, so to speak!!  I also love the spiky edges that make this flower seem like a star found here on earth.

This flower seems to be the shy cousin of other blooms found in late summer.  Its shy loveliness is highlighted by the greenery that surrounds it.

Musk Thistle with Web

If you look closely at this flower, you can see the remnants of what was most likely a spider’s web.  The delicacy of the strands of web only add to the striking beauty of this bloom.

Mayweed

You may be tempted to call these flowers daisies.  I know I was until I looked them up to be certain, and found their correct name is Mayweed.  A cousin to the daisy, perhaps?  Whatever its name, it is a happy looking bloom!

Enjoy!
