Prairie Smoke?

Gallery: FloraPosted September 6, 201377 views4 comments

This was taken while hiking a trail in Spearfish Canyon in the Black Hills. I looks like Prairie Smoke, but it was in the woods in the Black Hills. I did some research and could not find another plant that looked like this except Prairie Smoke. If anyone knows something more I would appreciate some help. Thanks for you comments and critiques.

Richard - I too think this is Prairie Smoke Flower past its prime. Wonderful take...Love how the strands droop down and the micro details.

Bill beat me to it! I was thinking 'Baddus Hairdayus'...

I do like the details in the 'bloom'.
