Swamp Sunflowers (Helianthus angustifolius) are symbols of autumn in South Georgia and can be seen in ditches and roadside bogs all over the region. I have some in my yard that are nearly 9 feet tall.

Vanishing Georgia: Photographs by Brian Brown
Since 2008. A visual survey of Georgia's historic architecture and culture. 9,000 locations. 30,000 images.
Just returned from a trip to NE Alabama Lookout mtn. area. Saw these on the side of the road, no one in our party knew what they were. Where can I get seed for these to plant in NE NC?
Fabulous shot! I always look forward to your posts, and this was an unexpected treat.
Brian, only you could take a photo of something very ordinary and make it a thing to marvel at
Thanks, Cathy! It’s hard not to make a flower like this look good!
Brian, I always enjoy your photos.
Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement.
