Summer Wildflowers
As spring passes into summer, the native woodland wildflowers fade into memory. Along the prairie hiking paths and the bike trails, following the old railroad right of ways, I begin to look to look for the wildflowers of summer. Here is a sampling of some of this years highlights.

All favorites of mine. I greet each as an old friend
ReplyDeleteAwwww....sad to see the end of the season!
ReplyDeleteI have known and grown a lot of those plants, or at least cultivars.
ReplyDeleteFlowers change as the summer season progresses.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and now they must rest until spring:(
ReplyDeleteWhere would we be without those lovely flowers? I am approaching winter so the wait for spring flowers seems long way off.
ReplyDeleteI adore the butterfly weed but can't get it to grow in my yard. It seems to prefers ditches.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures … enhanced by the handsome guy among the lilies !
ReplyDeleteSo lovely. I'm impressed with your knowledge of wildflower names. I sadly am lacking in that.
ReplyDeleteYou have a couple that don't grow here.
ReplyDeleteNice shots and a butterfly to boot! Lucky you!
Your hiking trails and byways are filled with beautiful blossoms. Thank for identifying these for us and thanks for sharing the beauty of your state.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved wild flowers and photographing them, but I don't really know the late summer flowers, except those which have been grown specifically for gardens. BTW, I read your posts on a feed reader , though I don't often click through to the actual blog so I can post a comment. But when I want to see the photos, then, yes, I like the actual blog best.
