The Rosin Weed/Cup Plant (Silphium perfoliatum) is exceptional this year.
It is a classic prairie plant.

The leaves are clamped to the stem and catch rainwater. Useful for insects in hot weather. A few fall in of course and although this is not an insectivorous plant, it doesn't pass up the opportunity to extract any nutrients in the 'soup'.

Although not native in England it is a magnet for various hoverflies and solitary bees. Unfortunately, honeybees have discovered it.

Greetings from September 1 in the Midwest.

From my morning walk.

My advice this weekend: If at all possible, get outside and be in nature. If only for a few minutes.

And if you can't, open a window and listen. Or put a plant near your seat.

It always reminds me that we are not so important after all.

Six weeks ago, the rosinweed flowers stood tall above the foot-high grass - now they are barely visible. Tallgrass Prairies covered much of the Midwest where woodland systems transitioned to grasslands. Relying on regular fires and occasional intense grazing to maintain their biodiversity, they now usually require human intervention for maintenance.

The pictures below were taken at eye level - just to give an idea of the height of the grasses.

#Grasslands #Prairie #NativePlants #TallGrass

A 6-foot tall stalk of Compass Plant (Silphium lacinatum) with large, brightly yellow flowers in the midst of very tall grass. Blue sky with a white cloud and the dark outline of forest is visible in the background.

An eye-level view through 5-6foot tall grass . In the distance, the yellow blooms of Silphium integrifolium can be spotted among amongst the flowering grasses.

Another view at three flowering stems of Silphium integrifolium in the midst of tall grass.

Silphium have yellow petals arranged in a daisy-like structure with a defined, orange and green center that is actually made up of small flowers or florets (ray florets and disc florets). The flowers extend from an inflorescence that contains as many as 100 stems. The plants reached heights of 7 ft as was likely in this case.

Here's a photo I missed from the last post. This is Shooting star or Dodecatheon meadia

#Missouri #Prairie #RemnantPrairie #MasterNaturalist

Shooting stars are a group of herbaceous perennials in the primula family (Primulaceae). There are over a dozen species in the genus Dodecatheon, all native to North America. The most widespread and common one is D. meadia (sometimes classified as Primula meadia), variously called shooting star, eastern shooting star, American cowslip, roosterheads, or prairie pointers.

This ephemeral spring wildflower from central and eastern US (southern Wisconsin to western Pennsylvania and south to eastern Texas and Georgia) is generally found growing in moist meadows, prairies, and open woods in zones 4-8. It is frequently used as a garden ornamental and received the Royal Horticulture Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 1993.
Basal rosettes are produced from a fibrous root system in early spring. The smooth, lance-shaped leaves up to 6” long and 2½” across are emerald to greyish green, often with a reddish base and with a prominent central vein and smooth margins. The foliage only persists into summer, with plants going dormant after that. Over time rosettes may offset, with new plants developing slowly

I joined Mastodon primarily to encourage me to document growth of a #meadow (bee lawn) in front of my apartment in WA. Last spring, I convinced my landlord to let me replace the patchy lawn with something pollinator friendly. It was an embarassing failure. I re-seeded last fall, and lots of things are coming up -- it looks hopeful.

I'll also post about a more successful lakeside #prairie planting at my mom's place in MN, and probably some #math stuff as well.

While I was not able to see all of the new art, this one caught my eye near gates B51/B52. It really spoke to me. After I read the plaque, I knew exactly why! This is “Prairie Confluence.” It reminds me of the Flint Hills, a tall grass prairie spanning between Kansas and Oklahoma.

#KCIAirport #Prairie #PrairieArt #FlintHills #NaturalistArt

Art installation is three purple/tan pieces above a seating area. Plaque next to art piece: Mona Cliff Prairie Confluence 2022 Seed beads, wood, beeswax, pine rosin, petroleum jelly, thread, glue.

Prairie Confluence is an organic abstraction and expression of converging regional influences. The artist says "During my time living in Kansas I've come to love the billow- ing clouds of incoming thunderstorms and the subtle beauty of the rolling hills and how light plays against the gentle mounds. I wanted to allude to a number of organic influences such as skyscapes, waterways, rolling hills and landscapes."

Just moved over to this instance so I guess a new #introduction is in order!

Hi, I’m Loren.

I am a life-long nature nerd, a far left Jew, a believer in #unions and #accessability, a lover of the weird and obscure especially when it comes to music, movies, tv, video games.

I am particularly fond of photographing #birds but I also love taking pictures of just about anything else out in #nature, be it #bugs, #mushrooms, #opossums, or #prairie #plants.

I am a strong supporter of people with marginalized identities. I believe in fostering an accessible and safe world for everyone except bigots, nazis, fascists, etc. Still learning the best ways to be a part of this community but at the moment any image I boost or post will have alt text and a content warning if necessary.

TL;DR: come for the nature photos, stay for the weird memes, shitposts, and caring about people.
