Flora does not refer to the lady who lives down the street. Now that the primary nesting season for ground nesting birds is over, Kaia and I ventured into a grassland field. We'd last visited it in late April before the nesting season began.
The abundant rain this season has been a boon to flora. Much of the grass was as tall as I, and was thick and lush. Not only was the moisture good for the grass it also enhanced forbs. There were several flowering plants such as purple prairie clover and wild bergamot (see below). The end of nesting season now offers the opportunity more ventures in the grasslands. Of course, as annoying as thistles are, pollinating insects love them.
Takk for alt,

Wild bergamot.
