Coneheads

 This time of year the "coneheads" seem to take over the prairie! Pink Prairie Clover and its close cousin, White Prairie Clover, are widespread and abundant. The flowers and leaves look nothing like the more recognizable red and white field clovers with their magical lucky leaves.

The other cone shaped wildflower we see a lot this time of year is the Prairie Coneflower. The other name for this plant is Mexican Hat. I wonder if the hombre who owned the hat  below had two heads!?
