Today's Flowers
I took this photo at the Old Cedar Avenue Bridge on October second. It was early fall and even though at the time that I took the pic the weather was still very nice I knew that it was only a matter of time until winter would be here and all of the flowers, as well as much of the wildlife, would be gone. So I took this pic to help me remember those warm summer days when the fields where filled with wild flowers.

Hey I'm the first one here!
That's what I love about "Today's Flowers"..it gives me sunshine when outside it snows!
Very pretty! Nice to have a glimpse of summer when my part of the world is under a blanket of snow! Have a wonderful Sunday!! :)
Hi Ecobirder,
According to Stan Tekiela's "Wildflowers of Minnesota Field Guide" your flower looks like it's a False Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides). Stan says, "A nice butterfly garden plant that is hardy and easy to grow."
Heliopsis helianthoides sounds like a flower I tried when I first started gardening, with little success. I then read every book I could on seed starting.
Your photos are warming on this cool day.
nice shot, the yellow is so lively and intense, beautiful ...
hugs, Denise BC
The yellow of this shot is wonderful.
Lovely golden flowers. They must belong to the sunflower family with all those tiny flowers in the certre. Great photo.
I didn't know that Stan Tekiela did flower guides..I have his bird guide for NY..I learn something new everyday..
lovely sunny photo for a dull overcast day here in southern Ontario.

Yes, I think everyone up north had to store up on their summer flower photos to have images to post during the winter.
