Allium, aka Wild Onion was still going strong in Chicago’s Lurie Garden last month. Though onions don’t seem spectacular, their flowers are quite interesting to observe.

This striking native is another fall bloomer in the Aster family. Another prairie native, Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) accompanies the Ironweed. Copyright 2022.
