I am not sure what these wildflowers are called, but I just always enjoy them so much this time of year. There is an abundance of flowers in the wild in Oregon right now. So many new ones seem to pop up each day, it makes me "wild" with my photo treks too !! lol Often people here at the Saturday Markets, where things are handmade, they will take this "flower" and spraypaint it in gorgeous bright colours, and they sure look grand ! I'd like to have some of your comments please..thanx for peeking in.

These flowers dry up in the fall and are great as part of decorative bouquets and things. We used to call them 'teezels' (sp?) but i cannot find anything like that online so it must be a nick name.
Nice shot by the way!

looks like some sort of thistle Verena, but I could be wrong. Nice capture and the framing shows it off well. Patti

Russell was right... they are called Teasel and they were long, long ago used for carding wool..but these sure look great standing against the clouds.

I was lucky enough to get this picture in the voting booth. I would have given it more than a ten if I could. This is beautiful.

"Gracious Lord, God of all compassion

This is neat! Yeah, we used to call them thistles too. I used to see where had spraypainted them to make Christmas wreaths when I was much younger. Great capture..=)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)
I like the look and detail. Nice clouds.

Very nicely presented Verena. I don't care if these are "weeds" - they're beautiful.

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

Live every day as if it's your last... and take "pictures" of it ;)
We call them obnoxtious!!! Yes thistles! They are pretty but if they go to seed, you have so many of them that it takes a few years to get rid of them all! They do make great flower arrangements though and the dried flower lasts and lasts!
Love the picture and framing!
