Prairie agalinis

The first picture is a straightforward (though still appealing) look at a flowering prairie agalinis plant (Agalinis heterophylla) that I found in the northeast quadrant of Mopac and US 183 on September 19th. For the closeups that follow, I knelt or sat on a mat on the far side of the plant and aimed toward the east so I could see the flowers backlit by the morning sun.
