This week the cup plants are still sending out their last flowers and the culver's root in the lower right corner is somehow still out. Many of the yellow and purple coneflowers have gone to seed and lost their petals, while late blooming flowers like ironweed, brown-eyed susans, and cardinalflower are in full flower. The various goldenrod species of the prairie are slowly coming out, with a few samples here and there and hundreds of plants with the first signs of flowers. The dog days have started drying the prairie out finally, but its density keeps the soil shaded and moist.
