Mule's Ears

Wildflowers are early this year in the California Foothills. This one is a bright and lovely sight on our country road. It's called Wyethia angustifolia or Mule's Ears and it's in the Aster family.
I shot this today, St. Patricks Day, with my Nikon D5100 and an 18-300 zoom lens. Hand held.

Love these wildflowers. There is a special place at 10,000 ft that I like to hike to each year to photograph them.

Thanks Bozsik. This is only at about 1100ft. and only two plants. Do you see more in groups up that high? I wonder why there are so few, here.

How beautiful, Riverlass! They look somewhat like sunflowers.

They are part of the Sunflower family. The first time I saw this plant I thought a bird had taken a Sunflower seed from my garden and dropped it by the side of the road.
Wyethia make large, highly nutritious seeds which are used by burrowing rodents and insects such as ants. If you break apart a seed head, the seeds smell like sunflower seeds but are much smaller.
