Mid-summer is prime blooming season for many prairie flowers so the display was spectacular - blazing star, tickweed, black-eyed susan, purple coneflower, petunias, butterfly weed, partidge pea, Indian blanket, Mexican hat, various milkweeds, and many more.
On WAMN's walk through this area, we saw not only Monarch butterflies but other butterflies such as the Pearl Crescent and Cloudless Sulpher. The highlight was when we spotted a Diana Fritillary, the state butterfly of Arkansas. Score!
