Unknown orange beauty


After a whole week with rain, rain and rain I'm watching and enjoying my photos from last Saturday when we spent some ours by the sea and the weather was both warm and sunny. I sat here alone and felt so relieved, just me, the sea and far away a small sailing boat.  It's weird but I like this photo even if the flowers are fuzzy. I remember that my son told me before I went down to the shore that I should have  a better camera, because he understood that I was going to take some photos with my mobile....


Well, if you can't get the whole photo sharp you can always take two photos! I don't know the name of this flower but the stalk was so long so I had to take 


a third photo! to remember the petals. Does anyone know what this is? Maybe there will come a day when I put some savings on a camera but the good thing with my mobile is that I almost always have it with me in my pocket.

Looks like Orange Hawkweed to me.

Thanks Bill, I read about it on the net and saw that it propagates through its wind-dispersed seeds. So I guess that someone has it in their garden.

Yes, it is an Orange Hawkweed (Pilosella aurantiaca). In german it is called "Orangerotes Habichtskraut".
My dictionary says "Rödfibbla" is the swedish name of it.

Ella, it is lovely. What a wonderful view you had by the water!!!

I have never heard of Hawkweed but it is a beautiful flower.

What a beautiful flower - love that color! And the water in the background is a lovely, crisp blue. Enjoy your weekend, my friend!
