The Yellow Cone Flowers

by Self Sagacity at 1:04 PM

Vibrant wild yellow cone flowers. Can't remember where I'd seen them, but they are so beautiful under the lenses.

"Range & Habitat: The native Yellow Coneflower is fairly common in Illinois, except in some SE counties (see Distribution Map). Habitats include moist to slightly dry black soil prairies, clay prairies, thickets, woodland borders, limestone glades, and areas along railroads, particularly where remnant prairies occur."http://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/prairie/plantx/yl_coneflowerx.htm

    very bright and cheerful - yesterday we had sunshine most of the day - today its so cloudy so your yellow flowers are making up for the lack of sunshine.

    I love how you photograph the flowers. The light gave it a combination of white and yellow tones!
