Couldn't resist photographing this bright yellow flower that I found growing in a flower bed in the cemetery next to the Erlton/Roxboro Natural Area. Unfortunately, a few plants have invaded the Natural Area when dead flower arrangements have been tossed over the fence - plants such as the very invasive Baby's Breath.

"Baby’s Breath (Gypsophila paniculata) is a perennial that reproduces by seed only. It is native to Eastern Europe & western Asia and was likely introduced as an ornamental. It develops deep tap root that can extend to 4m1 allowing it to access deeper groundwater during periods of drought. This is the airy, white flowered plant used extensively by the flower industry as bouquet filler and sold for dried arrangements. In winter stems break off and tumble with the wind, spreading seed – a single plant can produce 1000s of seeds."

Severe thunderstorm warning for City of Calgary (just found this on the weather network at 6:00 p.m.). I was wondering what the temperature was and why I was feeling clammy - I guess it's very "close", not to mention 30C-32C in my computer room. My sympathies go out to those of you who are dealing with extremely high temperatures at the moment - hope you get some cooler air soon!
