Tallgrass Prairie Wildflowers (12/35)

Original tallgrass prairie remnant with wands of blooming Dense Blazing Star (Liatris spicata), a species native to Eastern North America. Liatris species are unusual because they flower from the top of the inflorescence down, rather than bottom up as in most other flowering plants.
