We have a prairie growing in the middle of our townhouse enclave. The native plants have deep roots that absorb excess runoff water reducing misquitoes. It attracts birds, including owls and hawks. It doesn’t require watering, fertilizing or mowing. It smells wonderful. We’re hoping to expand it.
Different prairie plants bloom each week. This means the praire changes color from week to week. A path meanders through it. People stop to observe the plants, birds and butterflies. We walk the path often. Here’s what the prairie looks like this week.
The daylillies below are not part of the prairie. They are blooming en masse in the front of our townhouse.
Here you can see the sky tonight near the end of my walk.
