Prairie Park Coneflower

Guess you would call this the dead of winter, huh?
Eight degrees and a good bit of ice over everything for the second day.
So lets have a good dose of sunflowers, and their near kin, as we remember summer flowers for awhile.

It was at Prairie Park on September 15th, a Friday afternoon. I call the park "The hundred acre wood" as a nod to A. A.  Milne, Winnie the Pooh, and especially "James, James Morrison, Morrison Weatherby George Dupree."
The flowers in the park are spontaneous and as varied as creation itself....and you will see here only a few of them- a person cannot draw them all, as much as he would like.
I was calling these the "triloba" coneflower, but I think maybe it is actually the sweet coneflower - Rudbeckia subtomentosa.
