Grasses Get Me Hot - A Day at Kissimmee Prairie
Added 2025-11-16 08:12:06 +0000 UTCThe Andropogon diversity is outta control in this episode on Kissimmee Prairie in Central Florida. We also see the pine lily, Lilium catesbaei, blooming it's incredible blooms in the middle of this hot, fire-dependent sand prairie. Later, we ponder why the hell so many plants from central and south Florida seem to converge on the "spiriform habit" and if nutrient-poor soil has anything to do with it.

I often wonder why there aren't any Bobwhite Quail in N. Illinois. There is plenty of habitat for them up here that is burned on the regular. Maybe too far North? There's no whip-poor-wills or especially nighthawks any more.
