This is one of the few remaining Prairie Coneflower aka (Ratibida columnifera) or Mexican Hat Dance plants, at least that I've seen now that fall is upon us. What I didn't know is they are the are also a member of the Aster Family. These tall beauties thrive in our dry prairie regions.So I say we bring out the castanets and celebrate Today's Flowers with a flourish!

Having seen the hat, I'd really like to see the dance!
It's sad to see the wildflowers go. Love your photo.
All I can add to that is: Ole!
When enlarged the yellow flower seems even more mysterious against the dark background. Thanks for showing.
Cute name for these flowers!
I knew they were Cone Flowers but I didnt know they were also Mexican Hat as well ... but now I can how that is so ... did I miss the dance ... ;-) ?

Hello Noni
I really enjoyed the Mexican dance.
Before, I had only seen in cartoons.
Great post!
The name of the flower suits is perfectly! nice capture.
Hi Noni: That is a very neat flower and I like the way you added the dance to the show.
I have these yellow flowers in my garden. I had no idea that you call them Mexican Hats. I love that name.
