Swamp Sunflowers © 2012 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Swamp Sunflowers – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Swamp sunflowers (Helianthus angustifolius) are a bright yellow member of the Aster family. These wonderful wildflowers are found from New York to Florida, Illinois to Texas. They are related to – and often confused with – Black-Eyed Susans.
I love seeing swamp sunflowers growing in a field – or in a garden. They add a wonderful splash of bright yellow, especially in the fall, when other flowers are dying back. Here in the Washington DC area, its not unusual to find Swamp Sunflowers blooming in late October.
I’ve photographed several sets of Swamp Sunflowers this year. This set were my favorites – I loved the contrast of the bright yellow flowers against the red and green leaves of a nearby shrub.
This photograph is available as either at 15 X 12″ or 26 X 20″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Swamp Sunflowers from my website.
