Wildflower - St. Andrew's Cross by marlboromaam

Wildflower - St. Andrew's Cross

If you've never seen this tiny little wildflower, let me introduce you to St. Andrew's Cross. About the size of a dime, I was delighted to find it growing on a shrubby-type plant behind the fence next to the woods. It's made my top 10 list of favorite wildflowers found on my little patch! Four bright yellow petals make an "X" with a lovely fountain-like spray of stamens and almost orange pollen. http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=723

Beautiful photo! I have discovered that I am drawn to images with a limited color palette. Here it's just greens and yellows.

I wonder if this little beauty has a sweet aroma to it. It's petals look velvety-soft.

@lyndemc Thank you, Denise! It is very delicate. A touch makes it fall apart. No scent that I could tell.
