Day 80
A new state; a new flower
June 14th, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Beautiful flower. I really like the yellow butter cup look of them. They look like some king of Marigold to me by the stems but the flowers don’t look like it. What do you say MOM? What are they?
Nice flowers….SUPER nice picture.
Are these Ice Flowers? Probably not….just a guess though. Look a bit “succulent” on the stems and leaves.
Where’s Mom to identify the flowers for us? I was also thinking some type of buttercup. Beautiful.
All I’m thinking is “what is it, and can I grow it in Austin??” Very pretty!
I come to Austin every December. I will be glad to bring some to you.
I think they’re Yellow Buttercups.
They are called pontentilla and they are EVERYWHERE in Fargo. They must be easy to grow and are obviously hardy to make it in this part of the country.
Carol is right ……. great plants for the northern plains. They would melt in Virginia …..high of 97 today.
I’ve just discovered your site, thanks so much for sharing your journey. It is the bright spot in my day. In a stressful world, with a pressure cooker job, it is wonderful to check in and dream.
When you don’t know what they are called they are labeled MDYF (more damn yellow flowers)!
Beautiful flowers! Thanks Matt for sharing the ND flora!
Potentilla is exactly right, many variations on the yellow. Butterflies love them and they are great as a stand alone!
