Interested in MN Wildlflowers? Need pictures to help ID them?

| 1 Comment
Trying to ID two plants, I came across a great website today: Minnesota Wildflowers. Great photos that will help you ID plants a well as are a joy to look at!

The two plants I ID'd today I actually discovered on our property up near Northome, MN. I felt a bit like Linnaeus (except he, of course, got to name them). Here they are:

Pyrola elliptica

The pink pyrola you found is more likely Pyrola asarifolia. Besides pink flowers, its leaves are rounder and longer stalked than P. elliptica
