Prairie Coneflower Late June to Early August
This brilliant yellow flower is fairly common in moist prairie soils of the Dakotas. Its slender stalk may grow to between 10 inches and three feet tall. Because this member of the sunflower family is a lover of damp soils, it may not appear during the dry spells endemic to the prairie. But as the rains return, know that the prairie coneflower will send out its unmistakable yellow blossoms.
