I tried to identify everything, but to no avail. I did pick up brochures and took photos of outdoor posters with various wild flowers in the area, but most of the time I find flowers that are not listed. I try looking them up on the internet, with a lousy percent of success. So, what does that mean ? You get the pictures with maybe half being named. Enjoy all the photos even if you don't know what they are.
