July 5, 2016 - Here are a few of the prairie wildflowers blooming now.

Purple Prairie Clover.

Mexican Hat, or Prairie Coneflower.  Ninety-nine percent of these flowers are yellow,

But on rare occasions you encounter a red one like this.

This last one is called Horsemint, or Bee Balm, Lemon Mint, or Monarda.  I like the names of all the wildflowers.  Cowboy's Delight and Sky Pilot are probably my favorite wildflower names, maybe Elk's Lip.
