02/16/2025 prairie grazing!

Briar likes to eat some of our prairie grasses sometimes, she’s no herd of bison. This winter we’ve been meaning to escalate into a full trim. The weather today was crisp, clear, and not too windy sheltered by the house, so we did the cuts! This is in hopes that we’ll get more species from past seeding events coming up.

Looking east.
Looking west.
We did find this mystery plant, with long and just a little succulent leaves. Maybe a liatris baby?? We shall see!
I’m wondering if this is the sedge (Carex grisea) that Abby gave us a year or two ago. It might need moved somewhere with less-tall competitors.
Probably a rosette of Solidago (Goldenrod).
