Summer Exploding

Pale Purple Coneflower

Sulphur Cinquefoil

Butterfly Weed

Sunday was bright, hot, and windy.  The weather in the last week has caused an explosion of summer flowers.  

Common Milkweed

Yellow Daylily in flowerbed

Waiting on the wings were evening primrose, cattails, blazing prairies, among others.  The cattails are pollinating - anyone for cattail pancakes?

Enjoy!
