As much as I don't like the heat of summer I do look forward to summer rain. I miss the scent of it and the fresh feeling it leave behind. Like the whole world gets a shower to wash away dust and dirt. Even the scent of wet asphalt is nice. In short I just really like the scent of rain. Oh and the sound

How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold. 🌸🌼🌿🪻🍃

Mexican Hat

Ratibida columnifera

I found this lonely blooming Mexican hat plant gleaming like a beacon light amongst a sea of non-native, invasive teasel growing in a dry, disturbed, almost waste-like land near Interstate 55 in Missouri.

This sombrero-resembling prairie coneflower is native to North America. Its historic native range primarily spanned the Great Plains and surrounding areas to the west, with Missouri on the very eastern edge of its adventive range. However, there are now naturalized populations east of Missouri. It's commonly grown in gardens and can escape from them. This species prefers dry, sunny habitats such as prairies, savannas and some disturbed areas with well-drained, neutral to alkaline soils. Its flowers provide food for an array of insect species, including bees, beetles, moths, wasps, and many more.
