I love wildflowers. They are beautiful and more importantly, native wildflowers are essential for healthy ecosystems.
In this thread, please share native wildflowers from your part of our beautiful planet. Please stick to native species, as interlopers are generally not good for the ecosystem. Wherever possible, please provide the name, botanical name, and where the photo was taken. Any further information on the plant is always welcome.
I'll start:
California Buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum):
A keystone species for desert scrub and chaparral ecosystems of the American Southwest.
Photo taken in the San Gabriel Mountains of the Angeles National Forest, north of Los Angeles, CA.
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV | EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM | ƒ/16.0 | 100.0 mm | 1/125 | 3200ISO | Flash (off, did not fire)
