    Thanks Liz, Shelley, Pippa and Beth. I'm so glad I saw these when I did. They bloom so briefly and were already gone the next week.

    Thanks, Jana -- I'm glad I did, too--especially as these are, apparently, quite rare.

    Sandy: No, not that many actually. Maybe only 15 to 20 flowers, but only in one small area. They are an endangered and protected species within the Arb, and have a very brief blooming time.

    The endangered/protected species aspect makes this catch even more spectacular. :-)

    They kind of make me think of ballerinas.

    Alice; They are as light and graceful as ballerinas, aren't they?

    Brenda: Thank you--I'm glad I visited the prairie at just the right time this year!
