Some wildflowers linger faithfully in bloom for weeks on end. Here are two such which I’ve been trudging past daily, taking them for granted and deeming them unworthy of being in a photo.
Nobody likes thorny thistles, of course, but the Field Thistle’s flower does has a lovely color. Great Lobelia, shown below, has been blooming since the middle of August. Its many blossoms tend to become too weighty for the stems and are lying flat along the ground now. They look a bit bedraggled, but the pretty blue-violet color remains.

I love the thistle flower but hunt them with a vengence.
That thistle really is beautiful. Love the colors in your post today.
Another flower with lasting blooms are zinnias.
I love the blue/purple of both of these flowers, but have to agree with Gail that thistles are a no-no around here. :)
Hope you are having a great evening, Jeannelle.
