June 2022 Wildflowers Ottawa County, Michigan

June 2022 There are so many pretty wildflowers this time of year.  Every day I am finding different flowers blooming.  Now it is the end of July, most of these pictures are from June from parks in Ottawa County.

Rose Pogonia Orchid

Pitcher Plant






















Columbine at Connor Bayou Park and it is still blooming July 31!  I saw the first one blooming May 15, so these plants have been blooming for two and a half months!  




I’m not going to name them all.  If I do, I’ll never get this posted.

  2. Thanks Allen. I’m glad you liked seeing them. Those Columbine are amazing this year. If I see them tomorrow then they bloomed into August, and I’m sure they will be there tomorrow.

  3. You might want to collect a few of those columbine seeds. It's amazing that they bloom so late!

  4. Allen great minds think alike, I did collect some seeds from the Columbine. They bloomed around May 15 then after a bit they slowed down but then kept on blooming. I saw them again last night. Maybe only four flowers on several plants. They are along a paved bike path that runs through the woods to Connor Bayou Park. They were not cut back at any point. Maybe they just had a good year? We usually walk at this park three evenings a week so I have been watching them regularly. Thanks.
