Last spring our hill was mostly yellow with dying vegetation from the drought. This year we have had plenty of rain and the flowers show it. :)

The flowers are Plains Coreopsis.

Beautiful photo. We could sure use some of your rain down here!

Ah, yes, rain is good, flowers are pretty, pollen is...for some, a problem. My wife has allergies. She takes meds, and it helps some, but even she will take a view like that over a few sneezes.

That's a really loaded hillside, Don. Our bluebonnets were really nice this year and now that same area is covered in thelesperma -- yellow also, but not as thick as yours.

This has also been a great year up here for foxglove and indian blanket. Now, purple coneflowers are starting to appear everywhere. I'm not allowed to mow until the middle of next month.:rolleyes:

Jim, I haven't mowed the field since 2005. I think I'll get to mow in August if it's not too hot.:D

Yes Scott they do look kind of alike. We have both but on this sand land. The Blackeyed Susans seem to like it near the wooded areas.
