A few summers ago I was walking through a meadow in Dog Canyon, Texas when I spotted this tiny, colorful wildflower blooming in the tall grasses. I thought it was beautiful in its simplicity.

There are fewer and fewer butterflies around. I think this one is a cabbage white (although it's more of a light green) on New York aster. #butterfly #wildflower #naturephotography #insectphotography #nature #video

We got up #Today before the sun, drove beneath a weeping marine layer up into a foothill that lays south of where hwy 15 merges briefly with the flexed San Andreas Fault. This flower cares little for all of that. Google tells me it is an Aster. I know it's pink and grows in a wildland interface where the spirits cower. #BloomScrolling #WildFlower

The energy/pain scales were balanced enough today to get a tiny bit of #gardening done! Pulled a bunch of dead weeds and dessicated #wildflower stems from around a beautiful volunteer lantana that sprouted about two years ago, and is doing shockingly well given the amount of care it's received since (absolutely none). Came inside sweaty and covered in sticker burrs just in time for a glorious rainstorm. Not much to look at but I'm happy.

A bumblebee goes looking for nectar in a turtlehead flower. Wha's going on in there? She's not saying. #insect #photography #video #insectphotography #bee #turtlehead #wildflower

The turtlehead plant has flowers in the shape of a turtle's head with its mouth slightly open. A big bumblebee, who barely fits, pushes her way into a turtlehead plant flower. She has the same trouble getting out, but manages it.

The swallows have flown away signalling the change in season. Last week I heard the first sweet sad notes of the Varied Thrush. The sun is later to rise, earlier to set. Somehow I never caught up to Summer who was always running ahead of me, like an older sister. Now is the time to note the change in light. The quiet beat of the heart. #wsanecterritory #wildflower #seed #wander #さんぽ

Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa) or bee balm is a native North American #wildflower and a honey #plant.

Monarda species have historically been used as #medicinal plants. Today Wild Bergamot is sometimes used in #teas, as an herb, and/or as a garnish.

Species definition is a little fuzzy with the various Monarda #flowers.

This patch produced #blooms in mid-#May this year, a little #early.

My favorite #wildflower is #FirePink. It pops up disturbed areas, along woodland trails and after burns (thus its name) in deciduous forests. It is endangered in certain areas.

Its chief pollinator is the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird.

Can’t miss the bright red/crimson/scarlet color of the 5-point star flower. Saw this one on a recent trip to the "Blue Ridge" mountains, in #BlowingRockNC. It has been seen all the way up in Canada.

#NativePlants #BloomScrolling

Close-up of bright red 5-point star flower of Fire Pink. Background is green leaves of various plants. The petals have a waxy, shiny appearance in this light.

Each of the red petals of this flower end in two sharp points. There are also two small points on each side of the petal about halfway between the connection to the stalk and the tip. There is a black center and about four slender white reproductive structures jutting out from that center.

Now, it’s wonderful to see drought tolerant native #wildflower #gardens. These gardens are full of bumblebees, butterflies and birds.

Got a couple days of rain, the air quality is finally up to “good” again, and our little #wildflower patch was FULL of #bees today.

There were the usual extra plush guys I see in the area (in this pic) and a type I’ve never seen before with lil red butts (couldn’t get a good pic, but based on this link I think maybe Fuzzy-horned bumble bees: https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/upload/Bees-of-Alaska.pdf).

So midsummer has finally arrived, in mid-August.

Great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica) is a #native #wildflower where I live & can be found on many of the trails I inhabit. I added it to my #garden this yr. Though low to the ground, it's already a very large plant & I've a feeling it's going to be a bit of a monster next yr. It sends up many spike inflorescences w/ beautiful "true blue" flowers so I'm looking forward to that 👍.

Went for a hike up to Gray Lake (~2743m / 9000ft) in the Sierra above Incline Village, Lake Tahoe, yesterday. We found only a couple of these flowers. Can anyone identify this species? I am having no luck with my books and Google. (UPDATE: It is Hackelia mundula (pink stickweed). Thanks, @ahdchild!)

I've seen a lot of folks recently posting photos of their #monarchbutterfly caterpillar enclosures and most look like the enclosures are indoors.

This is a #PSA to help get the word out (please boost!):

Indoor raised #monarchs are more likely to develop and spread disease to wild populations, AND are significantly less likely to successfully fly south for the winter.

"Being exposed to an indoor environment with artificial light, constant temperature and top choice of milkweed provided by their captors they do not develop the environmental cues needed for pre-migratory behaviors."

Please please do your part to help boost populations the way nature intended, with planting milkweed and doing what you can to protect food sources monarchs need, fully outdoors. Plant #native (to your area) nectar sources and please spread the word to others so their efforts benefit the ones we're trying to save.

Ragwort - a much maligned #wildflower - is the larval food plant of this magnificent moth.

When we stop weeding so much there can be wonderful surprises. After three years of battling willowherb (and losing) I gave in. I learnt more about wildflowers and embraced them.
Look at the results! Beautiful hot pink flowers coming from the most impossible of places (between patio and fence). Why did I waste all that time?

This plant is called prairie blazing star (Liatris pycnostachya) and it is a native #wildflower where I live. I just planted it this spring. I'm excited about this one. Online pictures suggest the blooms are very cool and the plant is already around 3' tall.

Shootingstar wildflower (Dodecatheon austrofrigidum) found in Olympic National Park along the Upper Dungeness River trail. I love the unique shape of these and the pop of purple in the forest of so many shades of green. Hoping to find more of these while backpacking this weekend, or at least hope to find something to make hauling the weight of camera gear worth it.
