The Brecksville Prairie is about 4 acres of reclaimed grassland in the Brecksville Reservation. It looks like one of those spots you'd want to come back to frequently to see what's changed. Milkweed was just about done, but mallow and blackberries are coming in. The Park had planted a bed full of black-eyed Susan, bee balm, cardinal flower and purple coneflower. It was literally abuzz: bumble bees, honey bees, syrphid flies, all stuffed with bright packs of pollen.
A couple of shots, and more to come after Tuesday's CVPS critique.
Milkweed flower. Funny, I knew what it was, but to me, milkweeds are pods and potential natural Christmas tree ornaments.
So nice to see honey bees back.
Mystery flower. Note to self, shoot the plant tags.
Birdhouse just off the Prairie, surround by Ohio's State Pest, poison ivy.
Next week will bring some solace to one friend, progress to another, and another, well, she won't know peace for awhile, if ever.
