This is a wild one I happened to see while visiting a small and beautiful village here in Quebec called Knowlton. It was the first time I had seen them growing in the wilds.

These produce a tons of seeds that small goldfinches just go crazy for. It's a lot of fun to watch them grip the seeds heads and since the stem are not that sturdy, they swing in the wind. It's enough to make you dizzy just watching!

Very nice composition, focus, and colors. The background sets off the petals nicely! This is also known as Bachelors button and it grows wild in the prairie here.
