Oregon Sunshine: the 78th Flower of Spring & Summer!

What a perfect name for this bright and cheery flower! Growing in lovely bouquets of yellow flowers, these plants grow all over our property, bringing smiles and happiness to anyone who sees them! :)

Also known as the Common Wooly Sunflower., this flower is native to western North America, and is found from southern Canada to southern California. There are about twelve species of "Eriophyllum" and the first was collected by the Lewis and Clark expedition in Idaho in 1906!
