Morris Reserve Wildflowers

Formation of Morris Reserve

Morris Reserve is part of the Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Park District and sprawls for 177 acres.  This set of prints captures the intimate views of Morris Reserve wildflowers.  If you'd like to see Morris Reserve captured with a wide-angle lens under fantastic skies and colorful sunsets, check out this gallery called Morris Reserve Prairie!

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.

Ohio Prairie and Woodland Wildflower Art Prints

This gallery presents art prints using fine art nature photography to capture close-up scenes from the woods and tallgrass prairie of Morris Reserve.  Under a theory called biophilia, the premise lies in people feeling more relaxed when surrounded by nature.  Nature photography art prints allow people to bring nature into their spaces.  This gallery serves healthcare and corporate art clients where these art prints celebrate Ohio’s wildflowers from its forest floors to its tallgrass prairies.
