On flowers

[likethebeer]

Walked outside this morning and there were these cool prairie plants in bloom in the backyard. The stalks look like spiderwort, which we found last year, but they have yellow flowers like daisies which are dark towards the middle (the spiderwort we found last year has dark blue flowers). I've tried to look them up, but of course I'm terrible at that sort of thing. I can never tell what kind of leaves the books are asking me to identify. "Um, yeah, they kind of have pointy leaves? But also rounded? And, sure they're veiny, aren't all leaves? What is an umbrell again?" Anyway, the flowers were still a nice surprise.
