I have tried to capture some of the recent beauty of some mid to late summer blooming native wildflowers. Wildflower images have been taken in the yard here in Waukesha or Marquette County. Most wildflower here are native to Wisconsin. The summer started out dry but some rains came in mid summer and later. Wildflower blooms picked up from the summer dry spell and things got back on track for the most part with beautiful outstanding blooms.

Thanks for the great collection. It can be used for flower identification.
Thanks Jim, I see most of these plants on my daily walks. They add color and character to the environment. I use Seek on my iPhone to help identify many of them and appreciate the effort to name them.
Thank you for helping us appreciate the beauty we have right here at home in our own backyards. Thank you for taking the time to name them.
