I was amazed when I actually counted the number of wildflower species that I have photographed in just this small area. Over 200 and I’m sure there are still many that I have missed. Who’d a thunk it!
Hi Montucky, Spectacular photo of the purple blossoms. Beautiful. They remind me a tiny bit of Peter Pan Agapanthus landscaping plants. Have a wonderful Thursday tomorrow!
They are very attractive in the way some blossoms are open and others are pointing upwards. Unusual and beautiful. I’m enjoying the variety of wildflowers you have there, Terry, and you photograph them so well.
I will never cease to be amazed at and fascinated by the wildflowers. It seems that they must be part of an important message to us and I wish I was bright enough to figure out just what it is.
Gorgeous colours and the photo is great, I love how you have brought it into focus against the background. I’ve been trying to teach myself photography for a while but they never come out like this!
Thank you Sara! The wonderful thing about digital photography is that you can afford to experiment, and thereby learn. The hard part is understanding what the engineers were thinking as they developed and produced your camera.
I had no idea there was so much variety in the wildflowers of your area.

I was not familiar with that plant and so had to look it up. I see what you mean about the similarity. They are both in the lily family too.

Yes, I think it’s a pretty color too. It is different enough that you can notice it at a great distance, just because of that shade of blue.

Something that is endearing about wildflowers is that they are true individualists. They seem to go to extremes to be different.
