		<description><![CDATA[ Many flowers still blooming at this time of year are invasive species. It&#8217;s nice to see some natives still doing well. I think the bees were happy, too.

		<description><![CDATA[ I was lucky to have 2 photos today worthy of the title &#8220;photo of the day&#8221;. The flowers here seem to glow even though the plant was mostly in shadow. This is probably my favorite aster&#8211;the leaves have a lovely silvery sheen and are very soft to the touch.

		<description><![CDATA[ (At least I think this is three-awn grass.) On this last day of summer, I got some very nice photos of various grasses but this one really struck me, like a piece of abstract art. This shot is looking straight down at the top of the plant, in early morning light.

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was an exhausting day. The first stop was Long Lake Regional Park early in the morning, to see if the Nuttall&#8217;s evening primrose was still blooming. I only saw 2 shrivelled blooms, so I guess it&#8217;s petering out for the season. 
Elsewhere in the park, plants that have started blooming since my last post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ The bumblebees were out in force today, devouring the purple prairie clover. Notice the red-orange color of this guy&#8217;s pollen basket. You could hear the buzz from 10 yards away.

		<description><![CDATA[ Twice in the past week a brilliant splash of orange in a sea of dark green has caught my eye, and it turned out to be Michigan Lily. It&#8217;s a great flower.

		<description><![CDATA[A fen is a fantastic habitat to find interesting moisture-loving plants. Over at Sucker Lake there is a little fen-like area on the west side of the park, between the trail and a cat-tail marsh. I spent some time exploring that today. 
I found blue vervain, boneset, northern bugleweed, 3-petal bedstraw, four-flower yellow loosestrife, Pensylvannia [...]]]></description>
