Nature's Cup

Lining the two ponds on Boone Avenue, are many tall yellow Cup Plants.  One need only inspect the stalks after a rain to know how they got their name.  

Enjoy!

Cup Plant Full of Life

Not to be confused with the Prairie Dock, or the compass, a number of Cup Plants are now in bloom along Boone Avenue. All three flowers look similar and all three are tall.  The Cup Plants are easy to identify by their leaves.  They form a 'cup' on the stem.

I couldn't help notice so many forms of life to be found on this amazing plant.  Bees, Japanese Beetles, Golden Finch,


Assassin bug nymphs.            
Soldier beetles and a Jumping spiders.
Enjoy!
