What are these flowers

[Birdsong 82]

OK this isn't really a gardening question but I am determined to find out what These flowers are called. They are wild flowers. I live in Virginia in this time of year become tree roads to my house and infield's they are everywhere and they are beautiful. The reason I'm so determined to know is because I had a dear friend of mine who passed last year who would pick them for me when she come to see me and ever since she passed I have been determined to find the name of these flowers because they make me think of her. Anyone seen these and possibly know what they are

Maybe coreopsis

I think that's them. Thank you so so much. Now I can try to plant some in her memorial garden. Sounds silly but that flower is special to me

Not at all Silly! It would be a lovely living remembrance of your friend.
There are lots of different kinds. Read the flower seed packet before you plant!
Some are teeny-tiny, some are bigger. Easy to grow though and create a very "happy" place in your garden.

They are beautiful though She even picked some for the flower girl for my wedding. Thank you so much. Google searching small yellow flowers doesn't work well. Never thought to ask byc what they were

We live in Virginia too. I do not believe they are choreopsis. I have those in my garden and they are very different plants.
The wild flowers have different leaves, different flowers and they are much taller plants. Sorry i have no answer, but try posting your pictures on the thread, What did you do in the garden today? They are very good at that.

Maybe Southern Ragwort. Try searching yellow Virginia wild flowers.

Here's an idea.
Most garden seed catalogues
Have an online version. You could compare pictures!
