Stepping into Prairie Grasses: An Introduction & Primer

Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem) inflorescence

The Missouri Prairie Foundation was kind enough to invite me to write an article introducing people to the prairie grasses. I am not an expert, but I spent some time making diagrams of grass structure and macrophotographs of  some of the major tallgrass prairie species.

You can read it here (a PDF file, starting on page 14). Enjoy!

Another excellent contribution - thank you ! I will circulate your article to my other 'grass' colleagues in Australia. Peter

Thanks for the compliment! I love writing about them and taking macrophotographs as well.
