Ohio Tallgrass Prairie Wildflowers

Although the lower flat land once supported farming, the park district successfully converted the park over to a tallgrass prairie.  The field holds many species of the Aster Family (Asteraceae) such as Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta), Brown-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia triloba L), Eastern Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea), Goldenrods (Oligoneuron ohioense), Gray-headed Coneflower (Ratibida pinnata), Lance-leaf Coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata L.), Ox-eye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), and Ox-Eye Sunflower (Heliopsis helianthoides).

Ohio Woodland Wildflowers

Rising above the tallgrass prairie lies a wooded hillside full of fascinating Ohio Wildflowers, particularly in the spring.  This portfolio captures a few of these including the Barberry Family (Berberidaceae) like Mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum) and the hard-to-find Twinleaf Wildflower (Jeffersonia diphylla) which only blooms for 2-3 days a year.
