Ragged Robin

We were excited to find this wildflower on our Oregon-California trip in June. We saw it then in Brooks Memorial State Park in southern Washington. Back home again we found it growing by the hundreds in our own back yard, really in the fields around our home. Nonetheless it is a beautiful wildflower and well-named.

I'm nearly finished posting photos from our trip, but decided for a change of pace to post these wildflowers instead, all photographed near our home. In fact, I kept a record of the wildflowers we found this spring and summer, and even with some gaps listed nearly a hundred different flowers including one orchid.
