Entry StoneThough we have had more rain than I really want, the prairie plants on Bluebird Prairie seem to be thriving.  I didn't burn this spring and was eager for the new growth to make it up through last year's duff so that everything was green once more.  Didn't take long at all.  We had Golden Alexanders blooming early, and now Spiderwort and Penstemon are in bloom.  Seems to be a banner year for Penstemon, we have more than I remember from past years.  This is the 11th growth year for Bluebird.  I plan on taking pictures as each plant blooms and post them on the Bluebird Prairie Gallery.  This will also serve as a rough census.  Have a good day, and stay dry.
