Pellsville Cemetery Prairie NP Greeting Card IMG_5906

Prairie phlox (Phlox pilosa) carpets Pellsville Cemetery Prairie Nature Preserve near Rankin, Illinois in lavender-pink and white at sunset — a lone cemetery headstone visible in the midground, a silhouetted pair of trees glowing at left against a sweeping peach-and-purple sky, the surrounding Illinois cropland visible on the horizon. One of the most breathtaking spring evenings a cemetery prairie can produce, the color of the flowers and the color of the sky combining in a way that stops you in your tracks.
