The crinkled leaves of prairie dock
Liatris stems
The fruits of a native tree. Do you recognize these? After
Adams Lake Prairie State Nature Preserve, we headed on over to
Chaparral Prairie State Nature Preserve. If only we were here in early August! Can you imagine what these fields of prairie dock and
Liatris would have looked like back then?

Is that a persimmon tree?
ReplyDeleteYep,they look like persimmons to me, too!
ReplyDeleteme three. we are having a bumper crop of persimmons in fla this year. yum!
ReplyDeleteGuys, you rock. The female persimmon trees were quite easy to spot this year down in Adams County. This is really a southerner- they don't make it this far north.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is from almost from the exact same angle as this picture I took in July...

It's neat to see how much things changed from the same perspective! :)
