Wildflower identifications please
Can anyone identify these wildflowers? I have searched on the internet and can't find them. Thanks for your help.

Here's another.

And 1 more. Thanks so much.

The 2nd one looks like lupine that has yet to fully bloom. The 3rd is a sunflower ... don't know the exact type. The 1st way may also be a sunflower, as there are a lot of different flowers in the sunflower family.

Can't help with the first or third, but the second is fireweed. :smile:

The second one is fireweed, the third one is orange sneezeweed, the first one almost looks like heartleaf arnica, but if you had a photo that included leaves, that would help.

Ignore my suggestions :cool: . I was smoking sneezeweed at the time. The orange sneezeweed is part of the sunflower family, but is a much more precise name. And fireweed is correct.

I'll try and redeem myself (or dig a deeper hole) by saying that the 1st one looks a lot like Mule's Ears.

Without leaves, it's kind of hard to classify the first picture beyond 'DYC'. Looks a bit Mule's Ears-ish to me, but could be any of a number of plants...

I think Todd nailed, and Grant quit Bogarting the Sneeze Weed man! Pass the Dutche to the left hand side! :toast:
