This is where I worked all last week, the Morgan Hill Overlook at the Noxubee Wildlife Refuge. This was like my office. Before you get too jealous, be aware that I spend most of my time on my hands and knees, or crouched down, calling out the various species to my patron.
Here to the right I have found some
lobelia spicata. Morgan Hill is not technically a prairie, the soil is not alkaline enough, and hosts mostly "generalists," plants that will come up just about anywhere. Other blooming plants that are easily spotted here right now are black-eyed susan, daisy flea-bane, verbena simplex, and heal-all, a prunella. I visisted Morgan Hill last January with my mother and it had just been burned; at that time, the entire field was black. Next week we will be working in more of a true prairie habitat.
