by Neil Diboll & Hilary Coxbook review by Lynn R. MillerI read an article a while back in the New York Times about folks selling seeds of wild prairie plants. Neil Diboll has been president and head ecologist of Prairie Nursery, Inc. for over forty years and as I listened to him speak about prairie restoration I felt compelled, on impulse, to purchase a new reference book he did in concert with Hilary Cox. When the book arrived I was thunder struck.

On the first day of August 2006, my botanizing companion and I were making only our third trip to a barrens on a farm owned by friends in Kentucky. We already knew that this spot never looked the same twice, so we had few expectations as to what we might see. Our delight on arrival can hardly be described. As far as the eye could see was a sea of shades of purple, pink, and white.
