Cheering Up a Grey Morning

I like the False Dandelion though I'm not sure I understand the name connection other than the lovely cheery yellow color. Sure beats the muddy water which was the only other thing I saw today.

Great shot. Wish we could get some of that rain down here. Had a few isolated areas of rain, but none where I am. And it's extremely hot.

Fabulous clarity, details

[Taffy]

Love the translucent look to the petals -- lighting is great.

[Anne Pancella]

Very pretty flower.

[Diana]

A stunner with wonderful detail and clarity.

I suppose the similar petal formation looks Dandelionish?? except for the black bits. Lovely looking flower.

[Casablanca]

It's like a little firework, isn't it? I have not heard the name before, how interesting.

I watched a national television newscast from the bridge over the Arkansas River at Little Rock yesterday. I thought about you. Hope you don’t have any flooding where you are.

[Denise Wood]

Beautiful :)

Beautiful detail.

I call them Salsify. And I agree they light up a cloudy day.

[Ann Williams]

That's such a stunning yellow. Wonderful detail.

@louannwarren It's within a 1-1/2 miles of the house - hopefully crest tomorrow and then start its slow creep downward. Bridge over the river here still closed.
