July Blooms

The listed blooms can be found in many locations throughout the preserve.  Under each flower is a recommended trail where this plant has definitely been seen blooming in prior years. There are no bison along these trails, so everyone is welcome to explore. Feel free to walk along the "two–tracks" or off the trail, scanning the landscape for flowers blooming. Enjoy the prairie, savanna, and woodland beauty!
