Elecampane/ Scenic Sunday

Elecampane (Inula helenium)

It doesn't seem that long ago that I saw this plant for this time... NOW many fields around town are golden with elecampane. Maybe it has always been there and I have suddenly become aware of it.

To see more scenic photos visit  SCENIC SUNDAY.

So, you're saying the fields surrounding East Gwillimbury are wild with this wild flower which you didn't really see before but are now wild about?

That's good. It is pretty!

Name change: Originally, I started this blog to show the world what a wow place East Gwillimbury is. But I have wandered well beyond EG's borders! EG is still in my name as I am still based there. My family calls me CameraGirl because I take my camera with me wherever I go.
