On a walk through Oak Opennings Preserve Metropark I came across these beautiful yellow Coneflowers. Native Americans used this plant for its yellow-orange dye made from the blossoms. The leaves and blossoms also make tea when brewed.

Hi! I saw this beautiful photo and had to comment. Here in Vermont, coneflowers are the ones whose petals are worn down like a skirt. I call these flowers black-eyed susans. But I was thinking that perhaps the susans ARE coneflowers because mine confused me this week: some of them began to wear their petals down like a skirt!
I'll have to find some time to look this up!
