Jennifer- Thank you. Now I know ...Cheryl- Thanks<br /><br />Jennifer- Thank you. Now I know who you are!!!<br /><br />Jackie- The red flowers are Royal Catchfly, Silene regia. The yellow flowers are a mix of gray headed coneflower, Heliopsis helianthoides, whorled rosin weed, and prairie dock. These prairies are managed by The Division of Natural Areas & Preserves with fire and herbicide to keep out the invasives.<br /><br />Faye- Yes, the cemetery was built on a native prairie. Pretty cool, isn't it?<br /><br />Chris- Prairies are great, I bet you have many interesting remnants out your way.<br /><br />TomTom Arbourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01919759721690261620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-57547408239591303842009-07-28T16:09:07.914-04:002009-07-28T16:09:07.914-04:00I love the prairies, simple, but lots going on all...I love the prairies, simple, but lots going on all the time.

I'm guessing the red ones are some kind of campion we don't get out here. What are the yellow ones? Isn't it exciting to find intact habitat the invasives haven't yet dominated?Jacqueline Donnellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390548854179921303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-22913526763136272792009-07-27T20:47:31.989-04:002009-07-27T20:47:31.989-04:00Love the Silphium photo!Love the Silphium photo!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355110149263612286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21247637.post-80520112140541616292009-07-27T20:34:58.935-04:002009-07-27T20:34:58.935-04:00Such a beautiful post, thanks Tom.
