Opus 2022-130: Wildflower Watch: Signs of Drought

The orderly march of wildflowers is skewed.  Today I saw a patch of Indian blankets growing by the side of the road.  It seems to me that they are usually the last to show up.  There is another one that I am calling a globe amaranth.  It is a red ball at this point in time.  It usually comes later also.

There are also a lot of milkweed showing up.

They say we are in a ten year drought.  It could be that late bloomers are grabbing all the moisture they can.
