June 2023

I have documented 539 species in the 175 Lafitte prairie.

The following are blooming:
Mountain mint
beebalm
clasping coneflower
Rudbeckia Hirta
Liastris

Found the first swallowtail caterpillars on fennel for the year. Also have brown belted bumble bees nesting in a bird house.

Have gotten rain throughout the summer so far, but is predicted to start getting hot next week (99-100).
