Great Plains Ladies Tresses
This photo is a testament to a successful prairie restoration. The Great Plains Ladies'-Tresses is a species of concern in Wisconsin. This one was growing in a "goat prairie" atop Miller Bluff near La Crosse, Wisconsin. This area had been overrun with non-native plants like common mullein and Queen Anne's lace before prescribed burns and other restorative efforts by the Mississippi Valley Conservancy brought the prairie back to life. This little Autumn-blooming wild native orchid is living proof of a prairie restoration success!
