Growing up there, it's easy to take it for granted, and when I was younger, I didn't pay any real attention to the bits and pieces of prairie left in our area. As I grew older, however, I really started to appreciate the amazing diversity of plant and animal life to be found there, as well as the raw material for plants that have since become popular with hybridizers (echinacea, rudbeckia, panicum, Andropogon, etc) in their native forms.
