Goldenrod, a wild plant with plumes of small yellow flowers, is the detail that sets this picture apart from the usual flag-and-bunting images of the Fourth of July. Its title pairs the blooms with red, white and blue, suggesting a patriotic arrangement built from the flowers that grew along roadsides and in summer fields rather than from store-bought decorations. Late June and July were peak goldenrod season in much of the United States, so a bouquet like this would have been easy for ordinary households to gather and display for the holiday. Pictures of this kind show how Independence Day celebrations often drew on the everyday landscape as well as on formal symbols.
