Wildflowers both in close-up and in their natural settings, For leaves and seed heads of wildflowers, see the 'Non-floral vegetation' gallery.
I'm not a trained botanist. Take any identification I make of particular flowers with a grain of salt. If you believe I have erred, by all means email me (2lightmywayj@gmail.com) or leave a comment.
Note added August, 2009: Even though the date on which each picture was taken is available from the "photo info" button in the flyout menu you get by moving the cursor along the right hand side of a selected picture, I've decided to add the date to each caption, to save the view the trouble of searching the photo info. I think that it helps a person who is interested in learning more about wildflowers to know when each one is likely to be in bloom. Since blooming seasons depend on location, obviously, I'll also add at least a rough indication of locale. This is a work in progress.
Sparkle plenty. Bloodroot.
This blossom shows the anthers shriveling and the ovary already more prominent than in blossoms that have just opened. Pollen speckles the petals.
