Prairies In Ohio ?
Yes, beautiful ones, not just old fields with common weeds and brush. A real prairie is composed of special, uncommon plants that are seldom found in other habitats. In August and September, the prairie is in full maturity, with the tall grasses and wildflowers at full height. Tall grasses reach six to eight feet high, with seed heads forming. The late season flowers, such as prairie dock, tall coreopsis, and many others bloom in profusion on their tall stems that match the height of the grasses. The common flower color centers on the bold yellows of the sunflowers and other composites. A few species are white or blue, but yellows predominate. I took this photo in August a few years ago. It's winter now, the prairies are sleeping, no plants are growing.
