Wingstem Memories
There really isn’t much to say about Wingstem. It is yet one more lovely wildflower unknown to many folks. It blooms late in the summer. It does sway in the breezes of my memories, bright yellow in a perfect meadow, a near-unguent to soothe a weary spirit.

Asters of Another Sort
Summer is over. Sunflowers lean over wearily, burdened by the weight of their seeds. Apples, red and ripe, litter the ground beneath the trees from which they've fallen. Evening drapes its pastel fabric over the sky a little earlier each night. And all across the land Asters are in bloom. But some Asters aren't Asters at all. That is, they are not members of the Aster genus. Maryland Golden Asters, for example

Blazing-star, Its Secrets Revealed (Ho-Hum)
In the joy of the moment, when you find countless spikes of Liatris rising up from among all that goldenrod, are you going to remember to check the bracts? Of course not. You’re going to notice all that yellow blooming out there, and consider what a lovely backdrop it makes for the feathery pink Blazing-star. But the secret to identifying species of Liatris is in the overlapping bracts...

Garden Variety Roadside Weeds
In our travels around the country, my wife and I have been amazed by the usual stuff; the craggy peaks of the Rockies, the utter horizontal-ness of Kansas, the ancient towering Redwoods of northern California, the honey and syrup sunrises over the Gulf of Mexico. But more than that, the usual stuff, we marvel at the range of wildflowers that have turned up all over the country. In Mississippi that means roadsides littered with garden-variety flowers.

Goldenrods: The Severest Punishment or Sun Medicine?
In 1901 Mabel Wright wrote, “(Goldenrods) are a byword among plant students, who say that if a botanist is ever condemned to the severest punishment that the underworld can mete, the penalty will be to write a monograph, accurately describing and identifying all known goldenrods.”

In-between Months, Odds and Ends, and Ubiquitous Yarrow
September's one of those in-between months, in my opinion. While it has a lot to do with the end of meteor shower season, the longer shadows and shortening days, ripening apples, and garden harvests, I think it goes all the way back to grade school. September was the end of summer; it was the beginning of another school year. An in-between month. A lot of stuff gets unnoticed during in-between months. Even something like Yarrow.

Ironweed
I thought I’d write about ironweed. I mean, look, I have this really nice photo of ironweed and sunflowers from an Indiana prairie; it captures the essence of the late-summer blooming season, the royal King Arthur kind of purple against the golden sunny glow of the sunflowers. It’s Mother Nature gardening with an artist’s flair. The problem is, I’m not sure I have a lot to say about ironweed.

Leaves - Shape Part 2

Lust For Spring Leads to Coltsfoot
Thumbing through field guides of western species I’ve come across Coltsfoot and Western Coltsfoot, both early bloomers. Back east Coltsfoot is a well-known and welcome early sign of spring. It has yellow, dandelion-like flowers, while the western Coltsfoot and Western Coltsfoot have white to pinkish flowers. Gets confusing, doesn’t it?

Same Name, Different Flower
The Rocky Mountains are the borderland between the east and the west. Oh sure, this side is called the high plateau, and the short grass prairies of the area gradually become the tallgrass prairies as you head eastward, and we call this the Central Plains, but it's still just east, isn't it? You go up and over these Rocky Mt. peaks and it is a different world. Even the Blazing Stars aren't the same thing.

The First Wave
Early in the season the botanical tides wash ashore as Baby Blue-eyes and Cream Cups and Popcorn flowers. But the first big wave that sends us scurrying for higher ground usually drenches us in sunshiny Goldfields and somewhat darker Fiddlenecks.

Too Tired for Asters
Okay. I admit it. My enthusiasm for wildflowers wanes with the decline of summer. Asters can be notoriously difficult to identify. One species of aster is often similar to many others. Also, many species hybridize, really muddying the water. By October I’m simply too weary to care. Am I a fair weather wildflower lover, or what?

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.
