Prairie Coneflower


I bought this plant 3 years ago at the Friends of Mounds State Park Native Plant Sale. Needing plants for my back yard habitat, I figured it was just the thing, but I forgot where I planted it, and Scout dog loves to pull up plant markers... Hind site, last year I pulled it up cause at 3' tall nothing happened and it looked like a weed. This year, out of curiosity I let the "weed" grow to see how it would bloom. At 6 to 7' tall and 5' across, this is what she did ! Go Girl ! Plant Natives ! What Natives (volunteers) have you planted or have gifted you?

SUMMER SIZZLES




I can't do much to change the weather, and I knew it would come blasting in but WOW !
So hats of to pre-steamed veggies, straight from the garden, little kids and pools, and life going on no matter what. May you all stay safe and cool, and watch out for road hazards like this guy
