I got to revisit Sundew Prairie last week. It was fun to see the seasons change from June.
Agalinus purpurea - purple false foxglove was one of the dominant flowers.
Bidens polylepis - tickseed sunflower was the other dominant flower.
Drosera intermedia - spatulate-leaved sundew has the scapes arising laterally before curving up.
Hypericum canadense - Canadian St. John's-wort was one of the several small St. John's-worts blooming in the sand.
Polygala polygama - Purple Milkwort
Agalinus tenuifolia - slender false foxglove was not as common as the other false foxglove.
Solidago rugosa - rugose goldenrod
Bulbostylis capillaris - dense-tuft hairsedge kept getting mistaken for Fimbristylis autumnalis.
Hypericum gentianoides - orange grass was an easier St. John's-wort to identify.
I'm a sucker for photos of Polygala sanguinea - purple milkwort.
I kept trying to identify Rhychospora capitellata from just the leaf color, with limited success.
Juncus brachycarpus - short-fruited rush was one of the many rushes present.
Juncus greenei - Greene's rush was a good looking rush.
Hypericum canadense - Canadian St. John's-wort
Hypericum majus - larger Canada St. John's-wort had rounder leaves.
Lycaena hyllus - Bronze copper
Gentiana andrewsii - bottle gentian has plaits between the corolla lobes that are distinctly longer than the lobes.
Palm Warbler
Spiranthes cernua - nodding ladies-tresses
