Spring Wildflowers

The Orange Hawkweed (Hieracium aurantiacum), also known as Devil's Paintbrush, is in bloom. With so many white and yellow wild flowers in bloom now, it's nice to see a bright red flower.




This wildflower is a member of the family Asteraceae and is native to alpine regions of central and southern Europe. There weren't too many bees around due to the cool weather, but this bee was busy checking out the flower.







The Field Hawkweed (Hieracium caespitosum) is also a member of the family Asteraceae native to Europe.



The bees were also busy with this yellow version of Hawkweed.
