Buffalo Ridge Prairie – 2016

[To see photos and stories of this prairie in other years, go to the links on the main Buffalo Ridge Prairie page.]

This was a bad year for Queen Anne’s Lace – and Buffalo Ridge Prairie had more of it than any of our other prairie areas.  Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to cause any problems except aesthetic ones – the prairie plants grow and bloom just the same.
