Prairie Update!

Well, just a single snap because the first spring flowers have started to bloom on Wakehurst’s new American Prairie in South East England

It’s not the greatest (or most interesting) of photos, but I thought it would be interesting to track the growth through spring and summer of year two, the first year it will wake from a dormant state. All comments welcome. Anyone recognize the flowers?

Elsewhere on the Wakehurst estate, there are signs of spring growth on the Loder Valley wetland area: Beyond this area is a lake, and today there were maybe twenty geese on it, with a constant racket of calling, and brawls going on almost all the time. Quite an entertainment.
