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, where its historic native range primarily spanned the Great Plains and surrounding areas to the west, to 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.

Baileya multiradiata
There are many species in the Daisy Family (Asteraceae) that grow in deserts, but often these are spring ephemerals. In contrast, Baileya multiradiata flowers for much of the year. Plants are not especially long-lived, but they re-seed so that they remain in the garden year after year. This species is common in the Mojave Desert, and it provides a welcome burst of yellow at the Ruth Bancroft Garden as well.
