Can I get an ID please?
Comments (4)Looks like Ratibida Pinnata, gray-headed coneflower, to me. It should be blooming by now if its in its second season unless it got a late start last year. I've got several of these in my native plantings that are in their second year. They are on the downhill side of their bloom for me. A nice plant and I had darn near 100% germination for these that I dormant seeded....See MoreCan I get the I.D. for a bird or two I photographed yesterday?
Comments (5)Thank you so much!! I will do that. First I better tell you the area we're in. We live in Illinois between the Mississippi River and Rock River in the Quad Cities (Ever hear of the Rock Island lines or John Deere of Moline, Illinois?...well, we're from the Rock Island/Moline area.) Here is the wading bird that's so dark looking. I'm so sorry these photos are so small and hard to see...there was a huge marshy area between me and the birds. I'm in the market for a better zoom lens, but WOW have you seen the price of them?? This is the swooper...some sort of plover or sandpiper maybe? At first I thought it was a swallow of some sort...then when I saw the photo I thought maybe a killdeer, but I don't think so. Sorry these are poor photos too...it flashed by me so quickly, I just snapped away as a spur of the moment thing! Would someone please confirm that this is a female redwing blackbird? This one was from a different day in the woods. There were lots of orioles, bluebirds, red-bellied woodpeckers, and a myriad of other birds in this area. I was wondering if it could be a female oriole...the tail doesn't seem long enough. Again, sorry for the quality, it was a long way away from me. I did unspeakable things to this photo to get it to even show any markings but the color is just not there. Thanks so much for any help!

Comments (4)Thank you. Actually sounds like the kind of plant I would have planted and completely forgot about. May try to find a better spot for it instead of passing it along. Has anyone used it medicinally (and how)?...See MoreID please, and where can I get them?
Comments (3)With that height and form and late season bloom, I'd guess they were a type of orienpet hybrids, sometimes sold as "tree lilies". But there are dozens of very similar looking cultivars so can't get very specific as to ID. Most of the better lily specialty nurseries carry them: B&D Lilies, The Lily Pad, The Lily Flower Store, Brent and Becky's, etc....See Moreletsgobird7b
