Our favorite wildflowers

Searching for wildflowers is one of our primary activities where ever we go. In our daily life we have limited ourselves to few varieties of flowers whereas in actual reality there are thousands and thousands of species to look for. While orchids are always beautiful , a fact that everybody knows, so are cinquefoils which not a lot of people are aware of. Below are some of our favorite wildflowers.
