Three of our four seasons bring with them a variety of wildflowers that decorate our roadsides, fields and forests. Every year I stumble across a few that I have not seen before and it has gotten to the point where I am actively searching for new ones to photograph. If you have not looked yet, check out the Wildflowers Gallery found to the right – there are hundreds of Manitoba Wildflowers catalogued there.
Below – Blue Eyed Grass ( Spring )

Below: Silky Lupine ( summer ) Tall and showy in a variety of colours, whites, pinks, blues and lavenders.

Below: Woodland Horsetail. These plants have remained unchanged for millions of years except Woodland Horsetails of today are smaller. Chances are you have seen these plants numerous times but have not paid too much attention to them as I did. They are also known as Horse Pipes, Joint Grass and Mare’s Tail.

Enjoy!
