Seasons of the Prairie
Spring
When spring comes to the prairie, young green leaves shoot up through the black
soil and the first wildflowers bloom. Their small and dainty blossoms appear only a few
inches above the ground and last just a few days. Rue anemone, trillium, wild geranium,
prairie betony, wild hyacinth, shooting star and Indian paintbrush are some of the flowers of
spring. Song birds fly about and begin building nests.
