Big Bluestem

Big Bluestem, Andropogon gerardii

The prairie grasses are starting to bloom. Here the short diagonal pieces are the flowers as they open. The entire image sparkles with sunlight hitting early morning dew drops. 

One of the best places to find Big Bluestem at the PGT is in the prairie at the northern edge of Beaver Lake. It seems to appreciate the extra moisture in the soil there.
