Woodland Sunflower (Helianthus divaricatus). Blooming with a color that I like to call screaming yellow because it is so bright. Perfect for bringing cheer.

An herbaceous perennial native to eastern and central North America.

These cheery flowers attract many pollinators. Butterflies, skippers, beetles, pollinating flies, bees, and beneficial wasps seek their pollen and nectar.

The bloom season is summer into autumn. Wonderful flowers that I love to see trailside.
