Ayers Sand Prairie State Preserve Greeting Card IMG_3659

Vivid magenta clustered poppy mallow (Callirhoe triangulata) blooms dot the foreground while white flowering spurge (Euphorbia corollata) catches warm evening light across the mid-frame at Ayers Sand Prairie Nature Preserve in Savanna, Illinois — lush green prairie grasses sweeping back to a soft pastel sky with high clouds. One of the finest remnant sand prairies along the Upper Mississippi River, photographed in the long light of a late-season evening when the rarest native flowers are still in bloom.
