 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's flower is one of my favorites, Daisy Fleabane.  Daisies in general of any type make me happy.  It's very hard to tell the exact type of Fleabane, I am thinking Annual based of the leaves but could be one of the others.  Fleabanes generally bloom May through August.  They are in the Sunflower family in actuality and those make me happy as well.  😂

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog once again!  We are already more than halfway through the year.  This is actually an image from last year that I never shared of a flower that blooms everywhere in my area.  This is Daisy Fleabane.  It can be a nuisance as it gets in gardens and lawns and my garden railway.  It is a lovely one though so I generally try to leave it for the bees and butterflies.  They usually bloom May through September and can grow to 3 feet tall.  There is also another type of Fleabane called Annual and the 2 are rather difficult to tell apart.  😊

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Todays flower is an incredibly prolific one here in my area of Kansas.  It grows everywhere and very easily like a weed.  It has lovely dainty flowers though.  This is Daisy Fleabane, named that because early settlers believed it would keep fleas out of their cabins if they brought cut flowers from the plant inside.

Just some lovely wildflowers I photographed in Minnesota one summer.  This is a group of Daisy Fleabanes so named by the pioneers because they believed they could keep fleas away.

Yikes it's cold and this morning the weather prediction was right on with 12 F.  Yuck.  To try and stay warm I am dreaming of summer.  I had this image to help me with that.  This is a group of Daisy Fleabanes, one of which has a couple buddies you can see better if you view large by clicking on the image.  :-)

So winter has really come, only a high of 26F or about -3C today and by Saturday even colder.  Have I mentioned lately I don't like winter?  :-)  I am dreaming of warmer days and looking at images of warmer days.  I got this image on a lovely warm day.  This Ladybug was looking for aphids on these Daisy Fleabanes and I was able to get a shot when it sat still for a moment.
