Picked up Bob & Sue Harter N of Delaware – to Batelle-Big Darby Metro Park SW of Cols for Ninth Ohio Prairie Conference. – Took pressed specimens of silene regia to Charlie King for Ohio Biological Survey herbarium.
Good program – especially report on Ohio Dept Transportation 5 yr grant to study prairie plants for use in highway plantings.
Tours to Bigelow & Smith Cemetery. Harters wanted to leave at 5:30 & though hated to miss tour of Big Darby prairie – I was tired so good thing they wanted to leave.
Stopped at their house & Bob’s 10×12’ prairie is a microcosm of true prairies – gave me 4 flats of perennials including prairie dropseed.
