Flower field - field flowers

I assume that it was way back that you have been sitting amidst a meadow of field flowers with various different (wild) species - all blooming higgledy-piggledy.

Am I right?

For me it was really a long time ago I found such a magnificent flower field I never tired of looking at the colorful beauties.

 Some of the field flowers I knew - like the Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower),

but others I haven't seen before.

Does anybody of you have an idea what kind of pink floret I took here???

It's NOT a pink

daisy

cormflower

marguerite

strawflower

It's a ... ???

--> Rhodanthe chlorocephala, also known as pink paper daisy / Rosa Papierblume!!

thanks to Jill Harrison's post:

And the red one??? 

Cornflower and red poppy should know everybody.

But for all the other floral gems I need to browse through a plant identification book.

Next to the "wild" flower meadow was a field of one of my favourite flowers:

Ringelblume - common marigold - Calendula officinalis

The next photo is a "standard image" of a marigold blossom, but...

 ...have you ever seen such a huge field of Calendula officinalis???

Quasi a "sea of orange"???

I wish you a colourful weekend, dear blog friends!

Echinacea colour festival

What are the flowers or blossoms you like to take photos of best???

I've to admit that my personal liking chanced within the years.

Last Saturday, when visiting a garden festival, I had the opportunity to photograph these wonderful Echinacea flowers, commonly known as coneflowers.

The longer I took photos of them, the more I perceived their beauty and character as a perfect photo model.

Most people know Echinacea purpurea, so the purple variant of the coneflower.

But my favourites are the golden ones, I think they fit perfectly to our summer mood and light.

But then I found the red species and I was not sure if I like it more than the golden one... ;-)

The white one doesn't look bad either...

Finally I saw and captured the "original" Echinacea purpurea and I was totally confused about my favourite colour variant.

So I made a potpourri out of all the differnt colours of the coneflower and now you can make your own choice...

What's your favourite, Naomi-san???
