Blue Lettuce: Grasslands National Park

I love the name of this prairie wildflower — Blue Lettuce — and the concept that lettuce could, and should, be blue.

These weren't common while we in Grasslands National Park in late July. In fact, this is the only picture I took of Blue Lettuce, and I tried to take at least one picture of every single flower I saw.
