This year the plants are growing especially well. Their roots go deeper and deeper into the soil. Their leaves are large to collect sunlight. Many blossoms add color, and provide nectar for butterflies and other insects. Look carefully and you may see the webs of a large spider called an Agiope.
Dragonflies sometimes stop by to see if there's any water in the meadow.
Birds come to the wet meadow to drink. Some kinds eat insects that they find. Other birds will eat some of the seeds that the plants produce. Be sure to stop by and see the Wet Meadow. The plants are beautiful throughout the year.
