  • The intensely and wildly vibrant blue cornflower is found throughout most of North America, but is actually native to Europe, and is only naturalized here. Oddly enough, it is becoming rare and has disappeared completely from many places where it once flourished in the Old World. This one was photographed next to the Columbia River on the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge.
    Cornflower
  • A field in Southern Washington is awash in a dazzling display of brightly colored wildflowers. Predominant are the brilliantly blue cornflowers, as well as wild poppies, asters, lilies, and wild peas.
    Cornflowers
  • Not all cornflowers are blue. Sometimes they are pink, magenta, white, or any combination of these. This particular field near Catherine Creek in Southern Washington had all kinds of different color variations spread over acres of grassland.

  • Open prairie in Southeast Florida with yellow bachelor's button wildflowers.
    Florida Prairie
  • Also known as candyweed - this bright orange little member of the polygala family is often found in pine scrubs that are habitually burned naturally, and that are kept wet during the rainy season.
    Orange Milkwort
  • Native to Europe, this strikingly beautiful blue wildflower is now found growing wild all across North America and is a very important food for livestock, and as a coffee substitute or coffee-additive. Anyone familiar with some of the wonderful coffees from the New Orleans area will be very familiar with chicory coffee, which is very similar with a somewhat nutty taste, that is made from the roasted and ground roots. This one was found growing wild in at the edge of a field in Northern Arkansas.
    Chicory
  • Common all over Florida, this large member of the polygala family can be found in fields, scrubs, roadsides, pine forests, and particularly in and around palmettos.
