There was a LOT of spiderwort this year |
White Indigo. The white variety grows vertically, the cream horizontally. |
Marsh Pea |
Daisies -- there seemed to be more daisies everywhere this year! |
Indigo seed pods |
Blue-Flag Iris -- this is actually from the Wetlands, which I visited prior to the guided Prairie Walk |
There was an abundance of prairie roses this year as well. |
A gall on one of the prairie plants |
Native Wood Lily -- you can tell it is a native species by the gaps between petals |
Canada Anemone |

Mia: Thank you and you're welcome! ☺
If indigo will grow in Wisconsin, think it will grow in Montana?
Alice: I honestly don't know. All I could find online is that Baptisia are prairie plants native to the eastern and southern US, nothing about particular states/zones.
These are lovely shots. Not all plants I see around here, either. Nice.
Ahhhhh.
I didn't know that about lilies, just knew that they naturalized. We have wild tiger lilies here.
That lily is just gorgeous!
They are all beautiful.
I have never seen the first 4 flowers before
Anita: Thank you -- I think it's interesting seeing what grows in different parts of the country, don't you? A lot in common, but a lot that is different, too.
Ron: Thanks! ☺
Colleen: I don't know that this is true of ALL lilies, but it is for this native wood lily.
Forgetfulone: Thank you! ☺
Novroz: Thank you. These are all prairie plants native to the north-central USA.
Beautiful flowers!
The yellow one might be some sort of Primrose
Thank you, Lea!
