I apologize for this being tardy. I have been swamped with work at home. Todays' flowers are from prairies. Prairies are certainly one of the most beautiful places to photograph flowers in spring, summer, and fall. I miss that, having lived in Arizona for 20 years now. Here are some samples.

Coreopsis and Pale Purple Cone Flower, Nachusa Grasslands, IL.

Butterfly weed and Rattlesnake Master, Somme Prairie, IL.

Gayfeathers, Early Goldenrod, and Spurge, Ginsburg-Markam Prairie, IL

Beautiful starters Doug - I like the combinations of varieties in these meadow scenes.

I have a simple shot from our backyard with a Stargazer Lily that started blooming this last week.

Nice starter Alan.

My offering this week is from a high elevation small meadow in the Wasatch.
