Spring Wildflowers of Manitoba

// June 5th, 2010 // Boreal Forest, Petroforms, Whiteshell Provincial Park, Wildflowers

When the snow melts and the weather warms our early wildflowers start to bloom. These photos were taken in the Whiteshell at the Petroforms site area.  Above is Blue-eyed Grass which is so elegant and is one of my favourites. These were growing in open, rock and sand terrain.    Below, a Starflower which I found in shaded moist areas.

Below: Hoary Puccoon – these were growing abundantly along roadsides and forest edges.  A deep yellow/orange flower that stands out in the still brown grasses of late May.

Enjoy!
