In a field not far from us, many wildflowers grow and this golden, or yellow yarrow image "Golden Yarrow And Visitor" was taken in that field. There was a mixture of white and golden yarrow, but the bees seemed especially attracted to the yellow I noticed that day. Here is a close up macro of the flowers that look like small daisies and the bee that was visiting them. These flowers bloom into the fall/autumn season until a very hard frost, which for us, might not be for a while I hope. Taken with a Nikkor macro 105mm lens.

Golden Yarrow or Yellow yarrow, is a low growing shrub in the Daisy or Sunflower Family (Asteraceae), with wooly leaves when young, and yellow flower heads. The plant grows in large clumps or stands of many erect stems often exceeding half a meter in height. Leaves are alternate. Leaves and stems are whitish when young, because of being covered in wooly white hairs, then become greenish to gray-green needed. Leaves have 3-5 deep lobes. We are growing dusty miller in our garden, and the leaves and stems have that same look of fuzziness. The flowers attract bees and butterflies.
