Answer 4

to identify wildflowers i search for my states wildflowers, a simple KY wildflowers. If its not wild then i ask others in my local area or go to the local nursery to try to find it, usually if its blooming they have them in stock.

If you post your pic or area then someone can help you identify it or give you a website of possibilities.
