We have fields of gold here also, they are weeds. I work for an Agricultural Co-op. A lady called asking me what crop it was and I told her they were weeds. She was quite indignant, saying they were so pretty there had to be something we could do with them. I repeated "They are weeds".

You made that ladies day.... Or not.
Someone once told me it's considered a wildflower if you want it there and a weed if you don't.

[Desert O'Piñon]

Native prarie grass, Bouteloua dactyloides,Buffalo Grass. Good for grazers and lawns, drought tolerant narrow leaf blades. A lot purtier than Bermuda, fescue or St. Augustine.

Missing Link Trail is lined with a lot of yellow right now.


Tickseed Sunflower


With the Aster's starting to bloom it'll add some color to all that yellow.

Blue Sage from the park's wildflower bed's.


Found this tired gal just sitting on the trail, so I carried her back to the river to help her out, she was fine.

I think it could use a little trim, but don't worry the trimmings will not be wasted..... I will.

I did you drive up to MI or does Ohio have places open now? The prices in MI may make it worth the drive.

Got finish this one before @Carol 83 comes in and harshes our mellow.

My son had to move back for a couple of weeks when his basement apartment flooded. He brought his giant hydroponically grown "flower" plant. It stunk up the entire house.

Yeah Ohio has finally started to sell to the public, not everywhere yet but they're working on it. My buddies used to drive up there quite a bit, I would just have them pick me something up, I'm not a fan of long drives anymore.
I kinda remember that Cheech and Chong movie... Kinda.
