Prairie Dock

Prairie Dock

Prairie Dock is a hub of activity, currently.  There are still unopened buds but others are going into the later stages of their development.  I wanted to show some of what is happening.  The florets are starting fall off after doing their part in reproduction.

Honey Bee

The bees are still interested even though the florets are fewer in number.

Prairie Dock without Disc Florets

Here, only the Ray Florets remain.

This one has what I expect to be seeds forming in the disc.

Prairie Dock Bud

The plant exhibits quite a range of stages at this time.  It is most interesting to watch.

Soon, the Tall Sunflowers will begin to open.
