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 [![Google Photos](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/QIFeBw2CetE1LmIGT3H_tinsxrwJ2kNejp0WWdxyBDHYhuvDNT2u6yL-1y_-X05rdnGHxv1YSxljf3XmRfY8L3q71X_kxoKoRGtBstsqMlIgaFVMJcINrwIiYPvtrslkqSnEVtEIpA=w600-h315-p-k "New item by j") ](https://photos.app.goo.gl/oKjo8dNZXLugFZS96) 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.
