That’s actually what my needy Kentucky bluegrass lawn looks like right now lol, most prairie grass lawns in my area are more drought resistant than the “virgin lawns.”
Sure! This is from early June before I mowed it back some. It’s not perfect, it doesn’t have the whimsical wildflower field feeling I want it to have but the bees seem satisfied.
The one on the right is not a common prairie ecosystem, but something that someone’s created that supports native plants. There’s a difference. The picture I link above is tall grass prairie, a tragically endangered ecosystem in Canada and the upper states. The one in the meme is a essentially a big garden.
Both have value! but one has evolved over time, while the other was recently created. The tallgrass prairie is fantastic for creating fertile soils, and sustaining gargantuan herds of bison (😭) but the one on the right blows it out of the water for pollinator habitat.

Still better than a lawn
Not when you have small children…or a bee allergy.
Have your small children go out and play with the snakes and bugs
The snakes and bugs will kill ya where I’m from.
skill issue
True but I also like to golf

just adding to this cause I found a good picture, really want to get a fine fescue & pollinator mix alone the fine fescue is nice, but the bee pack has super cute flowers
The fescue looks so pretty!
I KNOW LIKE A SEA OF GRASS
You may not like it, but that is still better than the one on the left.

That just looks like overgrown and dead grass, not multiple types of plants.
