Pulsatilla patens
Pasqueflower is now blooming at the Baxter/Brainerd Northland Arboretum. Got several good photos but I liked this one best. Thanks to Theresa Klaman for leading us to them.
On another note, we found last year’s remains of a fair number of Goodyera tesselata (Tesselated Rattlesnake Plantain) in a Jack Pine stand along SR64 north of Motley, along with some pearly everlasting, a couple different species of pussytoes, bearberry, and quite a lot of Indian pipe. We’ll be back there later in the season to see how things are coming up. Right now I am more interested in the pussytoes than the orchid because it may be a species we don’t have yet. We’ll find out in another month or so.
