I'm enjoying this gallery, your keen eyes picked some real beauties amongst the tall grasses.
You're a walking botanical wizard. Great shot.

I was curious about how this plant got its name. Apparently, the large leaves at the bottom usually align themselves north-south. As such, it sounds as if it might have been helpful in orienting travelers across the plains.
