On a walk with a friend today we discovered these vividly bright orange flowers. I am quite drawn to color, so felt compelled to photograph them. Only later, after doing a search for this mystery flower did I learn that the Orange Hawkweed is classified as a noxious weed. This isn't the first time I've been captivated by weeds! And when a bumblebee landed on one cluster, it was an added bonus.
