Ironweed, color of high Summer
(Vernonia gigantea ). During this part
of the Prairie summer.
Ironweed stands out with its remarkable bright deep purple to magenta color.
I always look forward
to seeing it with much anticipation. A member of the Aster family. Native
to North America, with
alternate leaves, tall purple stem, in moist meadows more than two meters.
