Yellow wildflowers 04-11-17

Some years ago I read an article that claimed that the most common wildflower color is purple/violet.  I disagree and think the most common color is yellow/gold.  Whenever I see wildflowers now I think of that and always tend to pick out the yellow ones.  So, I don't know if it is my mental categorizing or if there really are more yellow wildflowers.

 

I think this is a hybrid, cultivated flower - but isn't it pretty?
