Groups of 15 to 20 led by Guy Denny, Jennifer Windus, Dick Moseley and John Watts managed to beat the July storm that drenched Guy’s tall-grass prairie July 23. The tour leaders shared great information about the forbs and grasses during their two-hour walk before the rains hit.
Members and friends toured the gently rolling landscape in peak bloom: compass plants, royal catchfly, coneflowers, cup plants, and so much more hosted a gathering of butterflies, bees and other pollinators, much to the delight of the several photographers in attendance. The prairie was created on 20-plus acres of once-cultivated farmland and also features two ponds with native hibiscus, gentians and other natives that thrive in wetter conditions.
