I have final exams this week, so I only spent an hour at Turkey Branch. My earlier efforts, clearing a large area of invasive Japanese Stilt Grass, has allowed the colonies of native grasses to grow and even gave enough space for a Wild Blue Phlox (Phlox divaricata) to grow and flower.



The Blackberry bushes, that were recovered after removing the invasive Wine Berry bushes, are also growing.




I expanded the area, that I cleared from invasive plant species, for the past few weeks.

Here are some colonies of wild Lupins, Blue Wild Indigo, and Mcdowell’s Sunflower.
