Native Wildflowers

Now that the trails are cleared for ease of passage our walk today was a bit longer than usual.

Three months-plus, post burn, the pollinator acreage is ablaze in flowers.  We observed the expected:  Ox-eye daisy, black-eyed Susan, nodding pink onion, compass plant, prairie blazing star, showy tick trefoil, gray-headed cone flower, along with blue vervain and cardinal flower along Silver Creek.  There was so much more. 

Including this surprise:


Cup plant.  And we didn't plant it with the original seed mix more than twenty years ago.  It just showed-up.

Probably thought it was a nice neighborhood to take-up residence.

And I get a second walk today to swap out the memory cards and perform a battery check on six trail cameras.
