Orange Bloom



Meet Hieracium aurantiacum - Orange Hawkweed.        




Technically a non-native this happens to be an import from Eurasia and is an alpine plant.  It grows throughout Wisconsin in pastures, disturbed fields and along roadside ditches         

It is also called the Devil's Paintbrush as its single stem is topped with a red orange color resembling a paint brush.      

It's now naturalized all over North American and all over here.
