Tall Western Groundsel: the 77th Flower of Spring & Summer!
When I see this flower, all I can do is wrinkle my nose and sing some lyrics to a most appropriate song..
U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, you're just ugly
U-G-L-Y but you never wonder why you're so ugly
U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, you're just ugly
U-G-L-Y you ain't got no alibi, you're just ug, ugly ugly
Photo subjects that I think are ugly or boring to look at give me a challenge: How do I make this ratty-looking flower look attractive? I took lots of pictures from different angles and in the end, I was suprsied to find that I'd succeeded--at least for me! You'll have to let me know what you think! :)
This flower is native to western and central North America and grows in open forests and wetlands. Some flowers have normal daisy-like heads with petals forming a pretty star...but others, like the ones on our property, have only a few petals on each head. Western Groundsel is poisonous to livestock and can cause minor dermatitus if handled. I would also like to add that it is very offensive to the eyes! Its scientific name should be Butticus uglius! :D However, butterflies love it so it can stay! :D
I've uploaded two other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too!
Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :)
