Cup Plant (likely the native species)
Bee Balm (Monarda, likely red)
Purple Coneflower seedlings (Echinacea purpurea, native)
Late Figwort seedlings - there's a chance of misidentification because the seed was collected, not bought
Mix of seedlings sowed from Prairie Moon's 'Shortgrass Inexpensive Prairie Seed Mix'. I won't be able to tell you which seedlings are in your portion. I'm not good enough at ID yet. Plus, more might show up later! The plants can include:

I started a ton of native plants from seed, both in-ground and in milk jugs. Nothing in-ground has sprouted yet. Most of the stuff in milk jugs has sprouted, but I don't know if they'll be big enough to transplant by swap time. If there's something you're looking for, please feel free to ask if I've started seeds of it. Even if it's not ready by swap time, perhaps you could pick it up later on since I'm in Evanston.
I also have a ton of native plant seeds left! Most require moist cold stratification however. Also, the majority of these seeds were collected by non-specialists, so there is the risk of misidentification.
