Nuttall's Sunflower / Helianthus nuttallii
Happy first day of FALL! Where did the summer go??
There HAS to be a problem with Flickr today. So little activity, so I just looked at the Flickr Test and see that Farm 6 East has no green check mark. No idea what effect that has, but maybe that is what is causing this.
I finally got out with friends for an almost three-hour botany walk in the afternoon of 11 August 2015, at Griffith Woods. There were certain "target" plants on the list, including three species of wild Gentian and one species of Orchid (Rattlesnake Plantain). We had success with all four, which made for a successful outing. There was also a patch of these beautiful wild Sunflowers, which I always enjoy seeing year after year. They are sometimes called Common Tall Sunflower, as well as Nuttall's Sunflower.

So many of the plants were finished already, after blooming two weeks early this year. Whenever I see Asters, I know that our flowering season is coming to an end, which is always depressing. The growing season in Alberta is so very short.
