Chicory (Cichorium intibus)
Here's a sampling of the wildflowers I photographed yesterday while ay the McKenzie Marsh, Aurora. The summer wildflowers are beginning to bloom and the weather has gotten quite warm. Well, it is the Dog Days of Summer, July 3 to August 11!
Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata)
Sadly I have seen few butterflies, but I have seen quite a few bees...at least in my own gardens.
St. John's-wort (Hypercum perforatum)

Pretty collection of colorful wildflowers. Happy Sunday!
Blue, pink, yellow - a primary colors selection. I especially love the chicory. The "butterflies" I have seen look more like moths.
They are very pretty!

Beautiful array of colours EG, summer colours are so strong and vibrant.

Just gorgeous!!!
I'm not a fan of floral images though I do take and post some. These are great. I'll try some for myself. I won't know what to call them so I'll just have to say blue flower, yellow flower and so on.
Oh, wow, those are beautiful. As to butterflies, early on, I was seeing quite a few I thought. Lately, not so much, but then I have not been out much. I am just going by my own yard. One thing, I may, just may have seen one monarch...but not sure if I did. I know I have not seen more than one!
These little and delicate wildflowers are just so pretty!
Nice colors and variety of pretty flowers.
I love the colour of Chicory, EG!
A spectacular selection of unexpectedly gorgeous flowers...
A very lovely wildflower collection!
A colourful little bouquet. How could anyone classify them as weeds?
The milkweed flowers are pretty in the pink shades. I have St. John's Wort blooming in my garden too.
beautiful shots!
Your wildflowers are beautiful. We have them in bloom also and I love them.
That first one is amazing.
Of artistic and medicinal value - especially the Hypericum!
Superb snaps, Tina!!
Have a Wonderful Week.
Peace :)
Very colourful collection!
