Botany Photo of the Day will have brief written entries on weekends, holidays and my vacations from April through September. – Daniel
Big bluestem, or turkey foot, once covered thousands upon thousands of hectares in North America as a key component of tallgrass prairie ecosystems (the species can grow to 3m / 10ft tall, hence the tallgrass part of the name). Less than 1% of the tallgrass prairie remains.
