Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum)
Anyway, that's what I think it is! Not having much to photograph lately, I took a walk around a piece of private property north of Springfield. Not much was blooming (there, anyway), but these looked pretty good.

Canon 20D
ISO 100
TS-E 90mm
f2.8 for 1 second

Thanks for looking!

I like the way all the lines suck you right into the picture. Good shot

Perfect light for this soft and inviting image. You have captured that subdued but discernable bg that you like very well too. I also like the square crop you chose for this one Tim. Well done! Thanks for posting! :wavey:

Sweet, Tim! Beautiful soft color and the square crop works really well here.

With the exception of a few common varieties, yellow flowers have always been a challenge for me to ID. Nice find - thanks for sharing!
