More Yellows of a Late Summer Prairie

September 28, 2018

Late summer is a great time to see all the yellow blooming forbs of the prairie. Although this year between the hot humid weather, the bugs and now the rain storms, some of the plants are getting pretty beaten up, I managed to catch a few more good shots. See what you think about these….

Tall Coreopsis (Coreopsis tripteris) and Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) as a backdrop
Stiff Goldenrod (Solidago rigida) with nectaring Monarch butterfly and bees. Neonics are more toxic to bees and other insects than any other pesticide.
Grassleaf Goldenrod (Solidago graminifolia) and False Bonset (Brickellia eupatorioides)
Compass Plant (Silphium laciniatum) flanked by bronze stems of the faded Ironweed (Vernonia fasciculata)
Rosinweed (Silphium integrifolium) with False Bonset (Brickellia eupatorioides) in background
Indiangrass (Panicum virgatum) and Canada Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis)
