This pretty little guy is another native to our Tall Grass Prairie & I have to say, notoriously difficult to photograph. I try every year & just can’t seen to nail it. It’s yellow (obviously) which is a colour I often struggle with (not sure why, just can’t seem to get clarity) and it’s surface is sort of ‘pudding-ish’ - spongy almost, so it sucks up the light and gives back very flat highlights, if any at all. But I love their cheerfulness, so I try every year. For those of you who love the science and the details :-) they are also known as Lithospermum canescens of the Boraginaceae family, flower May to July, 15 mm long flower, grow in bunches to 40 cm tall. Puccoon is an Aboriginal word for plants used in dyes. 06/24/19

dominates our little town - everywhere you go, all you can smell is the incredibly wonderful perfume of lilacs! It’s rough… I know! lol 06/22/19
