I was so thrilled yesterday to be shown several Orange Hawkweed flowers. They were growing along the edge of a parking lot for the park where we walked. This was a plant I had been hoping for a couple of years to see! More beautiful than I had expected and the background matched the flower itself. It is a weed that was introduced from Europe. Why are so many weeds quite beautiful?! Also known as Devil's-paintbrush. Isn't is beautiful, Doug?
