the WORDS for Wordless Wednesday

That flower is a Hairy Puccoon (Lithospermum carolinense. Plant family: Borage, Boraginaceae) from The Dunes at the Pinery. It's like a yellow forget-me-not, only much bigger). Does Lithosperma mean sperm (pollen) like a rock?

I have never seen a flower like that one before, but, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your flower, there is a question for you - and any other blogger - on my blog today!
