This Week in Wildflowers

Salsify Puffball...it will soon break into individual "parachutes" and fly away. There will be more salsify next year.
One of many types of thistles. The flowers are pretty but the greenery is tall and "nasty looking"
More thistle...very thorny and prickly.
Mullein is about 3 feet tall. The leaves are felt-like around the center shoot. The flowers on the center column are sticky and attract all sorts of bugs. 
Vetch and flax.
Red Poppy
                 
Colombine
Mustard
Unidentified orange bloom (I visit a large number of wildflower websites, and when they can't find a flower they don't say "I don't know" they say "unidentified")
Unidentified sneezing attack
