Snapshot: Early Oct: Willow Leaf and Thistle






A touch of color and a night or two with nip suggest we may yet see a Fall.  And hasn't this been an odd season.  More rain than I have ever seen, with little Second-Spring editions, from Gardenias to Queen Anne's Lace, to Honeysuckle (in much smaller numbers) -- dotting the Indian Summer landscape.

The Most visible of the Early October flowers are the Yellow Tickseed, Willow Leaf Sunflowers, and Godlen Rod (see posts below) making for a truly golden brew.

Just a note: This series is all from previous years, but I see I am getting searches related to yellow flowers in Arkansas. Our two most dominant yellow flowers, beyond the little roadside ragworts are Tickseed and the Willow-leaf sunflower. I've got great newer images of both but will post when I have time. Until then

Willow leaf: 14 bracks (yellow petals) overall flat look to the bloom

Ticks seed: 8 bracks, cup shaped,
