So what is it about walking through mud and woods - filled with mosquitoes that are hungry for new blood - that is so fun? I'm not exactly sure, but it has something to do with the discovery of all the things we find.
This time we counted nineteen individual plants of Purple Fringed Orchid!
After identifying some plants we realized that this place was special. Most likely one of the Coastal Plain Marshes here in Michigan. Look here to learn more about coastal plain marshes, http://mnfi.anr.msu.edu/communities/community.cfm?id=10670
We saw hundreds of these!
That about wraps up the month of July as far as wildflowering. Thanks for stopping by.

Great post. It is fun poking around in swamps to see what's there. M :)
Yes it is! Especially when you are with someone else who likes to poke around in swamps! And an older sister for protection from anything scary!!
