In every country in the world wildflowers bloom. Without human intervention, colorful plants spring up and adorn our varied landscapes with welcome color and beauty.

A staggering 400,000 species of wildflowers exist. Wildflowers are more plentiful in certain climates, but wildflowers do exist everywhere.

The most common wildflowers in North America are Blackeyed Susan and Common Sunflower.

Both of these cheerful wildflowers have bright yellow blooms with a dark center and can be found across much of the United States as well as Canada.

Many wildflowers are tough and can survive, even thrive, amongst all kinds of weather and gas emissions from passing vehicles.

Each year when the long grass and weeds are cut back along the roadways, I always think what a shame it is that the wildflowers have been cut down, but it isn’t long before the hardy plants are back again, lining our roadways with lovely blooms.

Each spring and summer I enjoy the beauty of the wildflowers that grow near where I live.

Bright, wild asters, intricate lady slippers, tender, tiny May flowers, trilliums, chicory, adorable violets, teasel, milkweed, Virginia bluebells, St. John’s Wort, wild parsnip, goldenrod, false carrot, stunning poppies, and buttercups are abundant where I call home.

I am always amazed by the incredible beauty of these wildflowers. 

Later in the summer, the appearance of large, orange ditch lilies greets us. 

These wildflowers grow abundantly in ditches, as their name suggests, and you will see great swaths of them as you drive along the roads.

No list of wildflowers that grow in my local landscape would be complete without the dandelion.

Dandelions appear in early spring and grow in great masses everywhere. It defies logic to see them growing up in the middle of a gravel laneway, yet there they are.

The bright yellow of the dandelion makes them easy to spot in fields, meadows, along rivers and streams and on lawns.

They are a tremendous nuisance in lawns and require a great deal of attention to keep them out.

Part of the reason the dandelion is so prolific is the round ball of seeds that replaces the flower once it has finished blooming.

Children love to pick the dandelion plant and blow the seeds away into the air. These seeds and those blown by the wind will result in new dandelions springing up the next year.

Many wildflowers in different parts of the world where climates are extreme have developed ways of existing despite the tough conditions.

In the desert there are many gorgeous wildflowers like the poppy and blazing star.

In the arctic where there is tremendous snow accumulation and intensely cold temperatures, the purple saxifrage blooms. A flowering companion is known as cushion moss which has a deep pink color.

Flowers bring us joy, and wildflowers are no exception. We often plant wildflowers in our flower beds, and they can make a beautiful addition to a bride's bouquet or cut flowers for any occasion.
