Chicago's prairie style parks






This is from a trip to Chicago I took in 2008. This is a planting in Millenium Park by Piet Oudolf. Check our the Rhus typhina 'Staghorn.'


Some of Piet Oudolf's prairie style planting with Eryngium yuccifolium, and white-flowered Echinacea, make a nice foreground for the Chicago skyline. It feels somehow less imposing this way.



The nature museum which appears to be swallowed by what looks like Ratibidia pinnata and Monarda. And finally one of my favorite perennials: Asclepias.
