Many people collect images of hearts in nature. I found this prairie coneflower as I was looking for prairie falcons this morning. (Focus on What’s at Hand)
This is what prairie coneflower normally looks like.
Prairie coneflower is in the sunflower family. You can see it if you mentally flatten the cone down a bit. Each of the brown stubs on the cone is a separate flower, as it true of all sunflowers.
Still not seeing prairie falcons. There is the possibility that they didn’t nest here this year.

Love the heart shaped one! I miss seeing these coneflowers in my current garden. And especially the Mexican Hat versions. Need to remember to sow some seeds this autumn.
