Another Monday morning.

These flowers were taken last month in an outlying area of our Central Park that is still being developed.

I'm pretty sure these are a variety of Blanket Flowers...

   

Wishing us all a happy, productive, and safe week.

Nice composure, Dave.

Thank you, sir.

In my experience blanket flowers are beautiful, and a low maintenance plant - they require little water and grow well in poor soils. They also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

All the advantages of a plant native to the local soils and climates.

Well I'm not always right but I'm never wrong.
I used to have a tshirt with that on it.
