Gray-headed coneflower


This quick drawing showing the upper portion of the plant was started as they all seem to be lately, with a pencil while sitting on a camp stool along the trail at Prairie Park.

Here is another gray coneflower, done close-up and in pencil, showing a couple stages in the maturing of the flower. The disc florets were just beginning to open and turn dark near the bottom on one side of the central flower. The middle flower has a full gray "cap" and the top flower is just beginning to reach its ray pedals out.  The whole drawing is about 3" tall.
