Found a few places in the Little Egypt portion of the cemetery. Currently going to seed.

Today I had the pleasure of being the first iNaturalist user to document the urban prairie remnant at McCree Cemetery. The land, initially set aside in 1866, was expanded over the years. Currently three acres, the remnant is in fairly good shape and is managed without frequent mowing.

During my visit, I located a number of forbs native to the Blackland Prairie ecosystem. Some wildflowers were seeded at this location last year, although the majority of the species I documented have likely been here for posterity.

Rare, only one organism noted. This would be expected here - shallow limestone remnant - but is only present on an edge area that is probably less prone to disturbance and is being crowded out by other plants.
