Nursery Flowers (Dry to Medium Soil) – Prairie Shore Botanicals

Pussytoes

The cutest flowers ever!

The flowers aren’t especially attractive, but the seed heads sure are!

Sure, it’s prickly, but totally worth it!

A very fragrant and delicate-looking milkweed.

Ranked S3, or vulnerable, in Manitoba.

A rare find in Manitoba’s tall grass prairie/aspen parkland.

Long, white hairs give this plant a grayish appearance.

Three species of insects – a cellophane bee, a flea beetle and an aphid- are exclusive to alumroots.

What’s really neat about this goldenrod is its pin-wheel leaf arrangement.

This miniature member of the iris family is a joy to see in spring-blooming prairies.
