Golden Aster

Gaillardia

St. John's Wort
(This non-native escaped [temporarily] from Garima's garden;
I included the photo anyway because it's such a beautiful flower.)

Spreading Daisy
(There have been thousands of these nestled
down in the wild grasses this spring!)

Wild Geranium

Yucca glauca
(There have been some many flower stalks this spring!
Interesting fact: they have just a single, codependent
pollinator, the small, off-white yucca moth.)

Strawberry cactus
(Most of this type of cacti we have here are the
Prickly Pear with yellow flowers; this one has
migrated up from southwestern Colorado.)

Milkweed

Purple Prairie Clover

Bee Balm

Scrambled Eggs

Not sure who these sweeties are … Oenothera canescens?

One of the many Columbines in Garima's garden

Cinquefoil, with its heart-shaped petals

Gumweed

Native Sunflower

Nodding onion

Datura is a native, though this one is trumpeting in Garima's garden (and yes, we know to be very careful with it!)
