Prairie Remnant in Deer Park - what's blooming during this historic drought? Your prairie plants!

Prairie Remnant in Deer Park - what's blooming during this historic drought? Your prairie plants!

What's blooming in this drought on just rainfall alone? Your prairie plants. These plants are blooming and surviving on natural rainfall, after our 30 triple digit days in August and in our historic drought. Harris county rainfall gauge near these prairie remnants showed the following inches of rain: March (1.4 inches), April & May (0 in.), June (2.8 in.), July (1.5 in.), Aug. (0.5 in.). We visited on Sept, 10 and the last time it rained more than 0.1 inch was on August 25. (I have included blurred photos in order to document what is blooming at in this area.)

The photos taken on September 10 are of two prairie remnants in LaPorte and one in Deer Park.
