A Liatris pycnostachya (also called Prairie Blazing Star, Prairie Gayfeather, Prairie Liatris, Kansas Blazing Star, Kansas Gayfeather, Kansas Liatris, Cat-tail Blazing Star, Cat-tail Gayfeather, Cat-tail Liatris, Hairy Button-snakeroot) wildflower was blooming in Norman, Oklahoma, United States on June 23, 2025. The flower was in sunlight with shade in the background and the camera cannot capture both sunlight and shade so the background looks black in this photo.
