Butterfly milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa), leadplant (Amorpha canescens), pale purple coneflower (Echinacea pallida), Ohio spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis), and rattlesnake master (Eryngium yuccifolium) fill the frame in a living tapestry of native plants. One of Iowa’s greatest prairie restoration success stories, in full bloom.
