Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Heart-leaved Alexanders

Taken on a windy day at Bow Valley Provincial Park two days ago. Not really worth posting, but thought I'd add it to my Plants of Alberta Set. I know I am seriously short of sleep, and I also know that's not the reason I'm seeing a blurred image, lol. For those who are not familiar with this wildflower, the reason for its name is found in the heart shape of its basal leaves, not seen here.

I always find yellow difficult to photograph, but these flat umbrellas of colour sometimes tempt me and my camera :) It is a member of the carrot family. There are 4 species of Zizia in North America, but only this species is native to Alberta.

I NEED some bright colour after all my recent dull, wintry photos. You probably do, too!!
