Wildflowers At 70 M.P.H.
For me, wildflowers have always been an interactive endeavor. Whether I’m invading the privacy of a blossom with my macro lens, inspecting the shape and distribution of leaves, or standing in a field of goldenrod and ironweed, I get close to the flowers. And I’m never in a hurry. You can imagine my frustration trying to enjoy wildflowers at 70 M.P.H.

Wildflowers At 70 MPH: Maximilian Sunflower
On the first leg of our trip west, across the bottom of Mississippi, up through Louisiana and into Texas, highways were lined with sunflowers, varieties of goldenrod, Mistflower, and golden asters. At rest stops and exit ramps I was able to identify Buffalo Bur, Camphorweed and Grass-leaved Golden Aster. The rest of the wildflowers, racing by at 70 mph, would have to be part of the scenery. In Texas, as we neared Oklahoma, a new sunflower entered the mix, becoming more abundant once we crossed the border.

Wildflowers At 70 MPH: New Mexico
With the spirit of Jack Kerouac never far from the surface, my wife and I jumped all over the opportunity to return to California. Across the bottom of Mississippi, up through Louisiana and into Texas, highways were lined with sunflowers, varieties of goldenrod, Mistflower, and golden asters. And once we got into Oklahoma the most abundant wildflower was Maximilian Sunflower, a gorgeous species top heavy with blossoms. Such variety and abundance surprised me. After such bounty, I thought, New Mexico would surely be a barren, dusty landscape. After all, it was October. What else could possibly be blooming? Lots. Lots and lots.
