We went to Longwood this week. The walk alongside the Meadow was golden and glorious. Spectacular wildflowers called Common Cup-Flowers lined the path. Goldfinches, butterflies, bumble and honeybees, gathered nectar and seeds.
Common cup-plant is a native wildflower in the Asteraceae (daisy) family. It may self-seed. It typically grows to around 6′, however, can grow to reach 9′ tall. ~North Carolina Extension Gardener.
The Common Cup-plant is my choice for Cee’s Flower of the Day.
The yellow daisy-like flowers were spectacular against the bluest of skies.
The child in me wanted to wade through the tall grasses and flowers and climb this perfect branching tree.
Even a photograph that went askew seemed pretty as it gave me a good glimpse of the underside of the flowers.
If you visit Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, take a trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square.
These photographs are part of Garden Ruminations/Six on Saturday.

I had the opportunity to visit Longwood Gardens back in 2008. I enjoyed it very much and second the recommendation.

It is a great place to relax, but also exercise at the same time. Does that make any sense at all. Walking always does my sense of peace good.
