NOT standing alone

The plains coreopsis in my wildflower bed has gotten a little out of hand this year, to say the least!


This is what happens when I don't get them thinned.



They're pretty, but they totally overwhelm the other flowers.



I like the "mutant" ones that do kinda stand alone amongst all the yellow:



And some have even managed to stand 'alone' alone.



Or amongst the coneflowers.....

.... which, interestingly, didn't have the yellow edges last year. Can flowers actually cross species like that? A botanist I am not.
