Hieracium aurantiacum


Some years back these smallish vivid red plants[devils paint brush] appeared out of nowhere, two on the vacant lot and one near the back of the house.

In the intervening years they have not re surfaced, until this year. Three of them in an area of about one square meter on the vacant lot.

I am not sure if they are prevalent in the area, they grow in amongst the fireweed, grass, small tress and such. Hard to spot for the casual observer.


Still balmy temps and breezy, keep dat wind a blowing, minimizes the bugs. .
