 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's flower is Dotted Gayfeather which blooms in August and September.  This flower is attractive to butterflies as I always see a lot on them while they bloom.  Gayfeather can have a taproot that is 15 feet deep so it is very drought resistant.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's image is one I stopped to capture while bike riding one day.  There was a nice big group of these Dotted Gayfeathers or Blazing Star or Liatris.  I liked this particular group of them as it showed the "dotting" fairly well on the one.

My image today is one I captured late this summer and added to my pages of Kansas wildflowers here on the Blog.  This is Blazing Star Gayfeather.  I captured this during the explosion of Painted Lady Butterflies in the area so there is also a butterfly bonus.
