Hi,

I've got these pictures buried at the bottom of another thread, but thought I'd repost them for those who don't want to dig through to find them. I've had a lot of fun preparing the meadow and am finally seeing some results for all that hard work! Love it!

Raking after an entire season of round up application:

The red-flowered plant resembles a dock, genus Rumex. See whether this looks right:

If so, then you have to decide whether you want it. Some classify it as a weed. Butterfliers like me classify it as a hostplant for Coppers.

That was my question. What is the "red" plant? Doesn't look like the usual prairie type plant. P.S. Love your dog.

The red flower stands out among other wild flower. Your dog also gives emphasis to the flowers around it.
