I have lived up in the mountains off highway 21 for 28 years now,
and I find that every year is unique in some way. This yellow flower
is quite common to the area around my home, but for some reason
one Spring they were everywhere and thick ... I have only seen them
bloom like this this one Spring.
Their official name is Arrowleaf Balsamroot, but I don't like that
name for such a pretty flower. I call them sunflowers.
