Savanna grasses in bloom

This is the time of year when the savanna grasses are blooming. These are so-called cool-season grasses, which flower earlier in the year than the warm-season prairie grasses. We have four species of savanna grasses at Pleasant Valley Conservancy, three ryes and one brome. Two of the ryes are flowering now: bottle brush (Elymus hystrix) and silky rye (Elymus villosus).
