What kind of flowers are these?

Jun 21, 2011 3 Replies

I live in the Denver area and while out driving today, saw some amazing flowers they were growing on a parkway.



They were small yellow flowers in a kind of conical vertical spray shape, about a foot long and pointed at the sky, with the smaller top of the cone truncated.



Does anyone know what those are, please?


Sounds like Ratibida columnifera (Prairie Coneflower or Mexican Hat).

No, this was about a foot tall vertical cone shape, but the cone was made up of like a mist of tiny yellow flowers, it was amazing. I need to take a photo of it if I can get back there.

Spray of yellow, that's the term I was looking for. They're about a foot tall conical shaped spray of tiny yellow flowers with the top end of the conical shape rounded.
