The MN wildflower blog

I really wish I had time to do regular field reports, but sadly I don’t. If anyone else is interested in contributing to this, please let me know. Thanks, and hope you enjoy the rest of the site.

The joe-pye weed may not be around for much longer, so everybody (including me and the butterflies) should drink it in before it’s gone for the season.

Something I wanted to do last year but didn’t get around to it is posting short field reports after an outing. So I’m starting it now. I hope I can keep it up. I expect to post to this category once or twice a week.

I take a lot of pictures and spend a significant amount of time researching the plants I’ve found. Sometimes, though, a plant doesn’t match anything I find in either books or on the web. I’ll post the unidentified plants here and hope someone will be able to help figure out what it is.

There may be other uses for a blog in the future, but this is all I have time for at the moment.
