Backyard Prairie
United States
Registrace 11. 05. 2024
A prairie planted in 2020. Documenting the growth and variety of native plants. Spending time appreciating the natural world. It's simple.
Partridge Pea Please
The train whistle was carried well into the prairie this morning. We had some heavy rains recently that have plastered plants sideways. It changes some of the vistas into the middle. More spent flowers pull my attention away from the showy blooms. And yet the blooms do not disappoint. Even as some cone flower is dried and done, more continues to open. A new aster was spotted. A yet to open liatris variety is coming soon. The partridge pea appear to be an insect favorite. A pleasant morning.

Lovely Liatris (Blazing Star)
zhlédnutí 47Před 14 dny
I thought I'd be featuring culver's root this morning, but the Liatris had other plans for me. It's been teasing a bloom for several weeks now. Priming me to pay attention, though difficult to avoid at this stage. The prairie as a whole is noticeably entering a new phase where seed heads are becoming more prominent adding texture and browns to the greens, yellows and purples. I was a little slo...
Yes, Yellow Coneflowers!
zhlédnutí 51Před 28 dny
I have to admit that yellow coneflowers (Ratibida pinnata) are one of my personal favorites. I can't help but assign a quiet nature to them. And the quiet of the morning bird songs, and the dripping dew in the downspout help calm the mind as the mosquitoes attack my face. It was a buggy morning in the prairie. Still, it was lovely. See if you can spot the culver's root, hoary vervain, big blue ...
Rattlesnake Master Don't Bite
zhlédnutí 37Před měsícem
A quiet walk around the prairie before the sun fully rises. It's been humid lately. The dew looks more like rain on the grasses. The rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium) flower heads, with their spiked ball tops steal my attention today. A preview of yellow cone flowers are starting to open. These two are my current favorites of all the prairie plants, if I am allowed to have favorites. Th...
Wild Bergamot Wows
zhlédnutí 68Před měsícem
Wild Bergamot, aka Bee balm, aka Monarda Fistulosa welcomes visitors to the backyard prairie planting. A meadow fresh morning before the high winds, plans of the day, conversations, and neighborhood traffic. Just the birds and bugs of the morning. The bumblebee and butterfly are still waking up, oblivious to my camera. The bunnies see me and are curious and careful. Multi-varieties of cone flow...
Navigating Cone Flower Rivers
zhlédnutí 9Před měsícem
Stepping out the door, the fountain bubbles gently. The young catalpa is in full bloom. And in the prairie, the cone flowers are rivers of purple and white. A quiet walk listening to the birds and the breeze. A fly is perched on a leaf of a cone flower yet to open. It's early and a little cooler. Sections of prairie sage shine bright despite the clouds. Collections of orange butterfly milkweed ...
A Morning Walk with Butterfly Milkweed
zhlédnutí 39Před měsícem
A quiet morning walk around the prairie planting. The echinacea have exploded and grab most of our attention. Lower to the ground, a few bright orange butterfly milkweed are blooming. The correopsis have faded a little, and yet still provide a happy glow to the space. A few mystery buds and foliage we are keeping our eyes on. Spiderwort blooms seem smaller now. The sour cherries are nice and so...
Pale Purple Cone Flowers Begin
zhlédnutí 6Před 2 měsíci
A quiet walk around the prairie in the morning on June 2, 2024. The pale purple cone flowers, echinacea pallida, are beginning to bloom. The more common echinacea purpurea (I think) are a bit behind. Coreopsis continue. A few milkweed are showing signs of future color. Found some kind of wasp nest in a crab apple tree. And a dew filled spider's nest with no spider I could see.
A Butterfly in the Prairie
zhlédnutí 3Před 2 měsíci
A peaceful, quiet walk around the backyard prairie. Two walks actually. One in the early morning with dew drops falling off the cone flowers and soaking through my old shoes. The second walk was in the early afternoon after the sun had a chance to brighten up and coax the spiderwort from its slumber. Other blooms include coreopsis, penstemon digitalis, penstemon grandiflorus, yarrow, and a snea...
What's Blooming in the Prairie?
zhlédnutí 4Před 2 měsíci
A morning walk around the backyard prairie on May 18, 2024. Spiderwort is blooming. A few milkweed have shot up. Correopsis have yet to open, but are getting close. A few of the cone flowers are also forming flower heads. Several unknown leaves that we are watching.
