Zumwalt Prairie, June 25 - 29, 2023
This is the second visit for the Nature Conservancy brochure I am working on. The summer heat is beginning to show in the brownness of the grasses, but there were still many wildflowers in bloom. The new ones have been added to the Wildflowers section, but some highlights are here. The Prairie is one incredible place that I definitely recommend getting to some time for any wildflower enthusiast.
