Goldenrod and ?
I'm not sure if this works or not, but applied a pinch of Orton, well maybe a teaspoon, and liked the result.

The yellow blooms are goldenrod of some sort, but I'm not sure what the pinkish flowers are. Any suggestions?

D2x; 80-200mm f/8, 1/10

Works for me, Bill - nice color throughout. Nicely done!

Bill, nice color in the gaura, a member of the evening primrose family. There are 6 species in AR and there is not enough information in the photo to figure out which one. The seed pods and sepals would need to be examined up close and personal. Gauras are biennial and flower in the evening and through the night until about midmorning when the strong rays of the sun shut them down.

Not sure about the goldenrod, again a closer examination is needed, because there are 37 varieties in AR. :eek:

Best,
Don

Interesting combination Bill. I have never seen gaura growing that thick before around here.
