first year and second year Mullein.
The tallest blooming flower I saw, also a member of the Asteraceae, looked a bit like a Groundsel or Goldenrod, but I haven't found the species in any of my books yet.
I found these little spheres of seeds very photogenic, but I don't recognize the species. It's probably one I'd recognize while it's blooming, but haven't seen it before in this last stage of life.
I took several photos of the ditch-side willows, mainly to show some of the galls and the leaf buds, for my botany archives.
Where there's water, there's always an opportunistic flower blooming well after its relatives on drier ground have gone to seed. This Daisy looks as fresh as any of them did in the Spring.
While I await the beginning of Fall Colors, I'll probably be posting some of my favorites from this past summer. You can also review the summer wildflowers around Qunicy by visiting the Bloom Blog at www,plumascounty.org
