The Newaygo Prairie is 50 to 60 miles northeast of where I live and inland so maybe that helped but it still seems late.<br /><br />We have found Birdfoot Violet in three different locations recently. The flowers are quite large. And yes more bladderwort. There are cactus, Hoary Puccoon, Sand Cherry, many plants I didn't include. I should add a list to each post of all the wildflowers we see blooming, even if I don't have a picture.<br /><br />:) Plants Amaze Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146268920352124853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338397056866369418.post-67621723691532151772013-06-12T09:33:39.677-04:002013-06-12T09:33:39.677-04:00The Prairie Smoke was the best!

We should have used a quarter to show the large size of those Birdfoot Violets. Strange that we like a place with no water but it is special. Loda Lake is always good, too. Our one-and-only Pink Ladyslipper this year. Thanks for sharing.

The bird's foot violet was a good find. I don't think I've ever seen one. I still haven't seen a bladderwort this year either. That was a nice trip-seeing real prarie is getting harder to do all the time.New Hampshire Gardenerhttp://nhgardensolutions.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338397056866369418.post-34541168577192051272013-06-11T17:05:37.741-04:002013-06-11T17:05:37.741-04:00Newaygo Prairie is a special place, mostly just a ...Newaygo Prairie is a special place, mostly just a big field no water, but we did see birds! Loda Lake is close to M-37 so it could be a quick stop on the way up north. It is quiet, but does have one house on the lake and a boat launch.<br />:)Plants Amaze Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146268920352124853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4338397056866369418.post-14963688512421854752013-06-11T14:17:31.795-04:002013-06-11T14:17:31.795-04:00I found that first place by accident one day, and ...I found that first place by accident one day, and I've always meant to go back when I had more time. I can see from your post that I do need to do that, and visit Loda Lake as well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
