An Orange-Barred Sulphur, Phoebis Philea, is sipping nectar from a flower Identification: Upperside of male bright yellow-orange; forewing has red-orange bar and hindwing has red-orange outer margin. The female, much larger than the male, has two forms, one off-white and the other yellow-orange. Both have upperside of forewing with solid black cell spot and a submarginal row of broken black smudges. Early Stages: Females lay eggs singly on leaves and flowers of host plants; caterpillars prefer to feed on the flowers. Caterpillar is yellow-green with black and yellow bands on the sides. It also has white-ringed reddish spots. Habitat: Open lowland sites such as forest edges, city gardens, parks, and road edges. Interesting Facts: Males of this species have a broad orange bar on the forewing, this gives rise to its common name. Range: Lowland tropical America, Brazil, Florida and the keys, rare but seen in Northeast states. Extremely vagrant in Colorado, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Connecticut.

Featured in the group Wildflowers of North America in September 2009 / Orange Agoseris (Agoseris aurantiaca) is a native flowering plant in the Aster family (Asteraceae). It typically grows in high elevation areas, giving explanation to another of its common names, Mountain Daisy. The orange colored blooms superficially resemble the orange hawkweed, a non-native weed. However, orange agoseris have a single bloom per stem whereas orange hawkweed can have multiple blooms on a stem. The multitude of aster species found in the West makes for difficult field identification. Other than mistaking it for orange hawksweed, Orange Agoseris is one of the easier to identify aster species. / This one was taken in the Glacier National Park, British Columbia, Canada.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Dandelion I could not believe my eyes when I saw this Dandelion, as it was the size of a tennis ball – The largest Dandelion I have ever seen! The name Dandelion is given to species of the genus (Taraxacum), a large genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Dandelion are a common and extremely hardy plant, found in most temperate zone gardens during the summer months. Dandelions were originally widely distributed throughout Eurasia, but have been inadvertently introduced to North America and Australia, where they have thrived. The dandelion has a bright yellow flower, which gives way in time to a globe of fine filaments that are usually distributed by wind, containing the seeds that help it spread. This is generally known as the “dandelion clock”, and blowing it away is a popular pastime for children. Bathurst, New South Wales, Australia.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Yellow Chrysanthemum Chrysanthemums, often called ‘mums’, are a genus (Chrysanthemum) of about 30 species of perennial flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Asia and northeastern Europe. Yellow or white chrysanthemum flowers are boiled to make a sweet drink in some parts of Asia. The resulting beverage is known simply as “chrysanthemum tea”. Chrysanthemum tea has many medicinal uses, including an aid in recovery from influenza. In Korea, a rice wine flavored with chrysanthemum flowers is called “gukhwaju”. Chrysanthemum leaves are steamed or boiled and used as greens, especially in Chinese cuisine. Canon PowerShot A650 IS 12.1.MP – 6x Optical Zoom – 4x Digital Zoom

A purple Aster flower / For the ID my thanks to Sandy Stewart / Aster is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae / The name Aster comes from the Ancient Greek word astron, meaning “star”, arriving through the Latin word astrum with the same meaning, referring to the shape of the flower head. Many species and a variety of hybrids and varieties are popular as garden plants because of their attractive and colourful flowers. / There are roughly 180 species within the genus, all but one being confined to Eurasia

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Sunflower and Bees The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is an annual plant in the family Asteraceae and native to the Americas, with a large flowering head. The stem can grow as high as 3 meters (9 3/4 ft), and the flower head can reach 30 cm (11.8 in) in diameter with the “large” seeds. The term “sunflower” is also used to refer to all plants of the genus Helianthus, many of which are perennial plants. / What is usually called the flower is actually a head of numerous florets (small flowers) crowded together. The outer florets are the sterile ray florets and can be yellow, maroon, orange, or other colours. The florets inside the circular head are called disc florets, which mature into what are traditionally called “sunflower seeds,” but are actually the fruit of the plant. The inedible husk is the wall of the fruit and the true seed lies within the kernel. The florets within the sunflower’s cluster are arranged in a spiralling pattern.

Blossom’s_Photo_Gallery Rainbow coloured Dahlia For a dramatic spread of colour in summer and autumn Dahlias are hard to beat. They are named after the Swedish botanist, Dr Anders Dahl, and come from the family Asteraceae, which is part of the daisy family. These wonderful flowers originated in the mountain ranges of Mexico, Guatemala and Columbia, before becoming popular throughout the world. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of different cultivars and hybrids of Dahlias and about 30 species. This tuberous-rooted perennial plant is characterised by the different flower types. Dahlias come in many lovely shades including bi-colours. / Canon PowerShot A650 IS Shutter Speed: 1/320sec / Aperture: F4.8 / ISO: 100

/ The Asteraceae are herbs, shrubs, or less commonly trees and are arguably the largest family of flowering plants, comprising about 1,100 genera and 20,000 species that are characterized by having the flowers reduced and organized into an involucrate pseudanthium in the form of a head or capitulum. The flowers are of two basic types: those with tubular actinomorphic corollas and those with strap-shaped or radiate zygomorphic corollas, often within the same head. Ray flowers – Ligules pinkish-purple, to 8cm long, spreading at first and then slightly reflexed, slightly notched (toothed) at apex. Disk flowers – Corolla tubular, to 6mm long, deep red to purplish-brown. Achenes to -5mm long. Pappus a small toothed crown. Receptacle conic, with chaff equaling or longer than disk florets. The genus is actually named for a small, spiny, omnivorous mammal of Europe, Asia and Africa called the “Hedgehog” (Erinaceus sp.). The spines of the hedgehog are reminiscent of the receptacle chaff of the plants. / This is a very popular plant for gardening and for medicinal purposes. It grows well from seed and is found in many commercial seed mixes. Typical plants have purple ray ligules. Plants with white rays can be found in cultivation and very rarely in the wild.

Poor frosty flowers!! Gloriosa Daisy- Rubedeckia hitra (Asteraceae) Perennial wildflower The Gloriosa Daisy is known for its Perennial wildflowerand unique shape. Both monocotyledon and dicotyledonous flowers use the flowers as a sexual organ. A flower consist in the 4 following parts: Calyx – the outer whorl of sepals; typically these are green, but are petal-like in some species corolla – the whorl of petals, which are usually thin, soft and colour to attract insects that help the process of pollination. Androecium (from Greek andros oikia: man’s house) – one or two whorls of stamens, each a filament topped by an anther where pollen is produced. Pollen contains the male gametes. Gynoecium (from Greek gynaikos oikia: woman’s house) – one or more pistils. The female reproductive organ is the carpel: this contains an ovary with ovules (which contain female gametes). A pistil may consist of a number of carpals merged together, in which case there is only one pistil to each flower, or of a single individual carpel (the flower is then called apocarpous). The sticky tip of the pistil, the stigma, is the receptor of pollen. The supportive stalk, the style becomes the pathway for pollen tubes to grow from pollen grains adhering to the stigma, to the ovules, carrying the reproductive material. Single and double blooms and varying colours of petals from yellow to red to burgandy and variations there of, can occur from from one cluster and root mass of the same plant. Found in well drained, sunny locations, this plant thrives almost anywhere. Used widely in gardens, but is a true wildflower – it is derived from the Black-eyed Susan. This is a hardy long lasting flower. Blooms from July to September. Wikepidia Search. / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——- / This shot is of a very pleasent discovery I made along a hillside on my property a few Summers ago…I did not plant this flower anywhere else on my property! I have no idea where it came from, now it’s popping up all over the place! :] Norwood Ontario Canada.
