My grandmother always called them
The Devil's Paintbrush
honestly
I did not know what they were
really called
until I was in my late 20's
The Devil's Paintbrush
honestly
I did not know what they were
really called
until I was in my late 20's
of all the wildflowers out there
I think this is my favorite
Orange Hawkweedstands on it's own
brilliant and more pretentious
than it's yellow cousins
I will pull the car over
to get a shot of these
and if the wind is blowinga bit too hard
I will hold onto it
to "get the shot"
I am not sure why
these little beauties
draw me to them
I am not a big orange fanalthough I do not hate the colour
maybe because in a world of
daisies and buttercups
they hold their ownbut do not get nearly enough attention
I took this shot 3 years ago
and it is still one of my favorites
along with this one
Happy Monday!!

Good morning, I love all the flower photos. I have an album full of the same. My husband just doesn't get it...he teases me endlessly as to why I need another picture of more flowers. The answer is, because it makes me happy...and so did this post!
Those look really cool, almost like cut paper flowers. I also like flowers that look different or unique. Have a great week.

Never seen these before, goodness Lori, what a lesson for today.
We don't have those here......so envious of you and your Canadian wildflowers.
We have a similar wildflower here called Indian Paintbrush. Has the loveliest orange colors!

Such beauty.

Lori - these are just beautiful. I bet they'd make the perfect little side arrangement to a plate of ebelskivers...you need that pan. It's lethal. :)
Those are lovely. I've never heard or seen them before that I know of. Love your post.
