Y is for Yellow Goldenrod.............
This is the most common variety of Goldenrod that we have in our area.
It is a wildflower that blooms from mid to late summer and is blamed for many of the summer allergies that cause much suffering.
I always thought they were a delicate, pretty flower - especially looking out over a field covered with them.
This herb is considered to be a weed by many, but the few I have growing around my home are most welcome to be here.
Nice shot of the Goldenrod
ReplyDeleteOutstanding shot of the goldenrod... I'll have to keep my eyes open because I'm not sure if it grows in my area or not.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks pretty, too! Yellow is a happy color.
ReplyDeleteGoldenrod is always a wildflower favourite of mine and I took my first Goldenrod photo of the summer this morning. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteNice shot. I like how the goldenrod forms a thin band around the branch.
ReplyDeleteFor a "weedy" plant, it's really quite lovely. So delicate. :D
ReplyDeleteYour photos a really wonderful and this one is no exception.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have seen such weed around where I live. To me, those flowers are so pretty and you've captured it's beauty very well !
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty, Kathy, but I've been allergic to Goldenrod since I was a child! So I'll vouch for their power to create seasonal sneezes and more...
ReplyDeleteYour photo brings out this plant's beauty, though!
I love wild flowers, I may plant a meadow one day! Loved the delicate flowers here.
ReplyDeleteKathy, who cares about alergies, lol, the flower is beautiful, and you capture it so well. Anna :)
ReplyDeleteI thought Goldenrod was a medicinal herb? Good shot, though, whatever it is, LOL.
ReplyDelete"Weeds" can be some of the most beautiful subjects in the natural world, great capture Kathy !!
ReplyDeleteDivine and very delicate flower!
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but, pretty as it is, just looking at the photo of the goldenrod sorta makes me want to sneeze.
