A wonderful shot Mitch. I use not pay much attention to these flowers. But the wife has a bed full of them I think I need to pay a little more attention them. This is really a beauty. #6840879

Beautiful! We have one of those Tall Grass Prairie Preserves in Oklahoma, but I've never been to it. Another place on my list that I'll probably never go to. #6840897

Renata, Michelle, Doc, Kerry, Dave, Anita, Ron, Carolyn, Tammy, Jeff, Jo Ann, Shelly, and Patti--thanks so much. Yes, sadly, these are all gone for the year. Those in the preserve don't have the long flowing petals of the hybrid ones, but they are beautiful too in their own way I think. #6845400

Lovely bokeh and background colors for this wild beauty, Mitch. I've inspired Ken to go to Sac County and now you've inspired me to go south of Lincoln :) #8797281

Mitch Spence level-classic July 31, 2010

Thanks, Nikki. This is a resub, as you can see, from quite a long time ago, but it's one I've always liked. Yes, you should try to stop at the Audubon Center if you get a chance. They do so much good work in reestablishing traditional prairie systems. #8797492

Outstanding use of DOF and focus Mitch. Great detail in the primary. #10649407

Nikki McDonald level-classic August 02, 2018

Very pretty. I like the colors - complementary is always good - and the bokeh in the background. #11717966
