Monday, 8:00 AM. 61 degrees, wind W, dead calm. The channel is glassy, the sky overcast and the barometer predicts rain.
The yellow coneflower, Ratibida pinnata, in the composite family, is a very showy native perennial. I found it in the woods edge,but it is more commonly a prairie plant. The rather similar brown-eyed Susan is much more prevalent here. The central disc of the Ratibida is conical, the brown-eyed Susan flat, otherwise the two look pretty much alike.
