Wow! What an amazing summer at Belmont Prairie! The Prairie continues to look stunning, now with big bluestem, gentian, prairie dock and blazing star as the main attractions.
 |
| Look down! Gentians abound low to the ground. |
 |
| Look for the purple blazing star and the yellow sunflowers, coneflowers and goldenrod. |
Autumn colors of gold and purple are replacing the bright colors of summer, and the sumac and Virginia creeper will soon turn a brilliant shade of crimson.
 |
| Check out the hazelnuts near the parking lot. The squirrels are awaiting this year's crop! |
And we know for sure that autumn is near because the hazelnuts and oaks are producing nuts and acorns. Take a moment to stop by the Prairie to enjoy the beauty of the transition to autumn!
