Missouri Ozark Wildflowers

Most of the flowers in this gallery are native to the prairies, glades, woods, and stream-sides of Missouri, right smack-dab in the middle of the USA.
(At the end of this gallery is another gallery with non-native flowers.)
I will add more from time to time, so please check back if you are interested. Also, as always, comments and suggestions are appreciated. Most-recently-added images are at the top, so 'next' actually means 'previous'. That also means that the flowers are shown in order of when I photographed them during the year, starting with September 2006 at the bottom, with the newest images at the top.
Much better detail and clarity when viewed as 'Original'.

Would you be interested in photos from others like myself? I have a very nice photo of a Spiderwart to share if you are interested.

Missouri has varied and captivating wildflowers. Your photos are well done!
Guest 26-Jun-2017 23:29
Thank you, thank you. In my mind's eye I saw each wonderful flower as it presented itself in it's own special place.
Guest 13-Jun-2017 19:23
Beautiful photography for the eye's that appreciate intricate details!!!!

I found a very odd pink flower. It most resembles Rayless gaillardia in my flower book: stalk slender, leafless, erect, up to 2.5 feet high. Thick like the stem of a chive flower. Growing in waste area. But rayless galliardia is dscribed as brownish; this is definitely pink. Outside the flowerlets are curving, vine-like protrusions. In Missouri.

I love wildflowers and try to incorporate them in my garden as much as possible.
Brenda 09-Jun-2014 01:09

Wonderful photos, and helpful, too! It solved the mystery of my favorite childhood flower... (It was the Deptford Pink.)
Angie 20-Sep-2009 21:08
Beautiful collection and great for reference. I think the small yellow flower to the left of your Rose Mallow is a narrow leaf gum weed.....

If you enjoy photographing wildflowers you will enjoy Craig Fraiser's albums. Part of his personal mission is to photograph all of Arkansas's rare wildflowershttp://www.pbase.com/cmf46 Enjoy!
