Wildflowers: Coreopsis, July 23, 2019

Our World Tuesday and Wildflower Wednesday
Wildflower Wednesday is the 4th Wednesday of each month.

Poinsett County, Arkansas, USA, June 30, 2019
You may know Plains Coreopsis, Coreopsis tinctoria, by one of its other names: Calliopsis, Golden Tickseed, or Garden Tickseed. It is a native North American wildflower that grows well in full sun.

When we went to our family reunion in Arkansas in June, long stretches of highway were bordered with masses of Plains Coreopsis. Absolutely beautiful! A big Thank You to the Arkansas Highway Department!

Have a wonderful day!

  2. So dramatic! Growing up in Texas, we looked forward to similar roadside displays of bluebonnets. Always a happy surprise.
