Hello Friends of Horton,
See the posting Hannah just put up on the HMEG blog! If you stop by
www.hmeg.org, do comment on the postings. Plenty of good information being
shared there as well as on the HMEG facebook
page<http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hamline-Midway-Environmental-Group/1182...>
.
For those who are wondering if the mulch event got chased away by the
storm...well no it did not! We did get the mulch laid, but we had to move
fast before retreating to Hannah's to witness the rain gardens in action.
Thanks Mike and Hannah Texler for a splendid evening.
Hope to see you in the garden,
SCKH

Subject: [HMEG Blog] What's Blooming in the Horton Park Native Plant
Gardens?
To: sckh...@gmail.com
Early summer is a beautiful time in oak savannas and prairies. The oak
savanna garden in Horton Park has many plants blooming right now. Purples
and oranges are especially vivid. For purples, leadplant (pictured below
under the pollinators blog entry)and harebells are in full bloom and
attracting insect pollinators. Butterfly milkweed is its gorgeous orange
self, preening to attract monarch butterflies. Other blooming plants are
Canada wild rye, which is one of the early blooming prairie grasses;
bird-foot coreopsis; thimbleweed; and northern bedstraw. Grab a wildflower
book and visit the park to identify and enjoy these beauties!
