Sneezeweed Flower Macro

Sneezeweed, scientifically known as Helenium, is a striking wildflower found across North America. These vibrant, daisy-like flowers typically come in shades of yellow, orange, or red and often feature a dark center, creating a visually appealing contrast. Despite the whimsical name, Sneezeweed does not induce sneezing; it earned its name from a historical use of its dried leaves in making snuff. These hardy perennials are popular in gardens and are a valuable addition for attracting pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. Their long-lasting blooms and tolerance to various growing conditions make Sneezeweed a favorite among garden enthusiasts.

Beautiful pictures .

Seeing the pictures brought back many memories. This flower is all over my campus. Girls wear rings by plucking flowers with branches. Although I don't like to pluck flowers unnecessarily, sometimes I also pluck flowers to wear a flower ring.
Although I don't know if those are real daisies, the campus flowers look exactly like your picture.

Thank you, thats an interesting comment, its neat that they remind of the flowers on your campus!

as usual you always manage to present some very beautiful shots to look at, the flowers are so beautiful especially there are bees there who are enjoying the honey juice in the flowers

Thanks, I can imagine the bees enjoy fresh flowers like these ones!
