Nothing Common About Sunflowers
I could never decide if the sunflowers that spread along our barn were Woodland Sunflowers, or Jerusalem Artichokes. I knew they weren’t Common Sunflowers, but that didn’t qualify as even a small victory. As it turned out, I didn’t know much about them either.

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.
