Photos: Prairie Garden

[ysabetwordsmith]

These photos are mostly from the prairie garden. These photos are mostly from the savanna. See the House Yard, South Lot, Savanna, and Prairie Garden.


Here is a long view of the prairie garden looking west.




This big patch of daffodils is blooming in the big bluestem patch. They include ice follies and yellow trumpets.




This is a double yellow daffodil.




This is a double pink daffodil.




Wild strawberries are leafing out.




Raspberries are putting out leaves. The blackberries are just starting to open.




Squirrels are digging holes everywhere.




Squirrels tear up the moss and throw it around. If I find it in time, I try to press it back into place, but most of it gets lost and dies. So don't worry too much about damage when you're collecting moss. Unless you're harvesting with a backhoe, you're probably doing less damage than the squirrels. Just try to stay under that bar and you'll be fine. Moss is designed to handle a certain amount of mayhem.




This yellow tulip is almost ready to open.




These tulips are blooming pink.




This one is hot pink.




Daffodils are blooming in the daffodil bed.




These have orange cups.




Nothing is blooming in the goddess garden right now, but you can see the remnants of winter aconite.
