June 2024
I have identified 676 species in the prairie.
The following are blooming at this time:
a few Iron weed
purple cone flower
Yellow Coneflower (Ratibida pinnata)
Mountain mint (This was cut back in April/May so is behind on normal bloom time)
Have mowed a few new areas to decrease height this fall.
June was wet at the beginning (4+inches) and then no rain for over 20 days. Hotter than normal with temps in the mid to high 90s.
