This photo of echinacea angustifolia — otherwise known as purple coneflower — was taken on Monday at a prairie remnant near Mesquite, TX.
It had rained that morning there, and yep, those raindrops have been falling on my head ever since.
It’s raining as I type.
There’s been lots of flooding in Austin and the surrounding area, but so far we are good.
Fingers crossed.
More photos from the prairie weekend coming soon — now I’m off to bed.
I’ll leave you with some Eddie Rabbit lyrics that seem right for tonight:
Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightning
When it lights up the sky
You know it makes me feel good
Hi Lisa – love these TX coneflowers – I think this blog entry of mine from last week might be of the same thing???

Hi Laura! They are almost the same thing — they are both purple coneflowers for sure! Yours looks like a cultivar of echinacea purpurea.
Both sure are pretty!
July IS the best month EVER!
