prairie flower
Grassland bloom, wild
A prairie flower is any wildflower native to prairie grasslands—coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, blazing stars, and dozens of others that thrive in open, wind-swept landscapes.
The term evokes rugged natural beauty and the American frontier.
Figuratively, a prairie flower may describe a person—especially a woman—of simple, wholesome beauty from the heartland.
