I’m not sure what these orange wildflowers are, and I only see them in northern MN.

These wild purple asters were growing everywhere in northern MN, blooming late into fall.

Usually I try to keep the sun from being directly in my photos, but I do like the washed-out, late summer feel of this.

Now the fall flowers are starting to bloom!

This was in the greenhouse gardens at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden; I’m not sure what it is, but the pink flowers are striking.

The hops gradually start to turn brown in late fall.

I like the orange accents in the heart of this sunflower.

Although I am highly allergic to them, I love these coneflowers.
