Five months have passed since we conducted a controlled
burn out back and the prairie planting continues to amaze as different
plant species come into their seasonal glory.
Big
bluestem also called ‘Turkey Foot’ is one of the Four Horsemen of North
America’s tallgrass prairie (the other three are little bluestem, Indian grass and switch grass)
Some call it The King of the Prairie - a
quintessential prairie grass. No wonder - it towers over seven feet in
height in some places.
From our walk today it is rather breathtaking in the cool of autumn.
Of
course the New England aster and stiff goldenrod are rather showy too.
Among the last remaining nectar sources for hungry pollinators.
