July 3 Cup Plants at Ten Feet

The prairie at Aldo Leopold Nature Center continues to grow and add more colors. Cup plants are still stretching towards the sky but have not opened their flowers yet. Next to them are the yellows of the compass plants, which are also rapidly gaining heights over my head. This week bee balm is in bloom along with a small patch of michigan lilies, many brown-eyed susans, and the first yellow coneflowers are growing petals. Also, some of the shorter grasses are  starting to seed.
