I'm a writer and found your site while doing research of plants native to New York State. Absolutely beautiful photographs, David. Extremely informative. I simply wanted to thank you for all your hard work.
Best regards,

Nancy,

Your blue flowers could be ajuga, sometimes called bugleweed.

Nancy, I don't know what your tall, blue flowers might be. Sweet Williams come in various colors, but not, as far as I know, blue. David

Thanks for the photos and the information. I have a small garden in the Bronx and I let it go to see what would come up. I have blue bell, white clover, tiger lily, spearmint, vinca, thistle, smartweed, fleabane, rose of sharon, violets and one I can't identify. The flowers are gone now. My neighbor said it was Sweet William, but I don't think so. The flowers were tall and blue. The leaves are purple-ish and shiny and spread out.
Thanks again.

Hi Mark, The flower you describe might be Bloodroot. They are white with a yellow center and are one of the first wildflowers to bloom in the spring. David

David,
Excellent photography
Recently while stream fishing I saw a flower (?)
It was a white cup, with almost no stem, growing
Right on the ground. The inside of the cup was a
brilliant yellow. Any ideas?

Thanks

I recently went to a wedding and they had center pieces that we wild plants that smelled like roses, except they had no flowers on them. What are they called and do you know where ghet grow?

Thank you for these beautiful photos. Living in Southern CA causes me to miss the wildflowers in the Finger Lake area.

I have a new weed in my meadow and around my house growing next to a Giant Hogweed. This plant is quite tall. In fact at this point, it's taller than the hogweed plants scattered about. It's much taller than I am at 4'10" and has very large leaves, though not as large as the burdocks we have all over. If I take a photo, might you be able to identify it? After moving into our new house (built on the same property), and after my daughter and her many goats left, we have been getting new wildflower plants every year. This is our 4th year since the soil has been so badly disrupted. My wildflower book was lost in the move and I don't go out much at all due to a handicap. I hope you can help. The idea of another toxic plant gives me the creeps. I will be calling the DEC Hotline after I return from Rochester on a 3 day trip.

The picture galley of Northern NY wild flowers with attached names is so helpful!!! Just yesterday, while taking a walk with my dog, I was wondering for the umpteenth time what a particular plant was. Lo and behold, it is a spotted touch-me-not, whose tender seed pods seemingly " explode" when squeezed or just touched, when fully ripe. Thank you for clearing up a mystery that I have been wondering about every late summer since childhood.

David,
Yor wildflower photos are great ! I use your gallery quite often to try and identify wildflowers I find in New York. Great stuff !

I am of two minds when I look at your lovely photographs. First, I enjoy them very much, but second, I am extremely jealous. I can take a hundred photos and not come up with a single one of anywhere near the quality of any one of yours.

Beautiful photos Dave. Composition is excellent and the detail is crisp.
