Lovely!! Thanks for the visit and imagery. Our tallgrass, though also impressive this year thanks to summer rains, is half the stature of yours... I really must come see the real thing. Is this original or restored?
Sally asks: "Is this original or restored?"
This plot is restored prairie, about 40 years old, and of fairly high quality, but now the invasion of an exotic plant, silky bush clover, threatens the diversity and community structure. With no apparent way to check its spread our efforts are now turned to documenting the demise of this prairie plot. It's quite sad really.
That's so sad - even though this is a restored (restored or recreated?) prairie. The same thing happens everywhere, even here where Japanese knotweed overwhelms one plant community after another.

Restored or recreated? Well, perhaps more of the latter and less of the former because this site was agricultural, although poor soil,but before that prairie.
And RE invasive species: this is one of the major biological problems of our time and yet funds to pursue such problems are generally lacking. Good thing some of us work cheaply by teaching students how to do research.
