FYI  The wild flower display in the "restored" prairie in Meadowbrook Park is truly outstanding.  They are to be seen between the play structure and the limestone rabbit on the east and south side of the big loop. Watch out for low flying bicycles!  Ralph Langenheim

I concur with Ralph. Just walked dog out there this AM. The true wonderment is that this whole area was burned early in the spring. Proof of the pudding that planting a prairie is not only good for stormwater management, but also for the sheer beauty of what was originally here..
