Orange Hawkweed
Despite being a weed, I've only ever seen Orange Hawkweed growing in the wild twice, I believe. This photo was taken at the Reader Rock Garden on 24 June 2015, when I called in after a volunteer shift. I love the colour and the toothed tips of each petal. Provincial Designation: Prohibited Noxious.
"Native to Eurasia, Orange hawkweed was likely introduced as an ornamental plant because of its showy, fiery orange flowers .... The ancient Greeks believed hawks’ feeding on the sap of hawkweed is what gave them their keen eyesight. Other common names are devil’s paintbrush and red devil."
