Wild Flowers

 Far Guy spotted a beautiful wildflower along the trails.


A Bottle Gentian or Gentiana andrewsii it is a Native plant in Minnesota. 


There is Poison Ivy growing off to the right at the base of the tree.      ^^^

It's delicate.

What a beautiful little flower! I hadn't noticed that poison ivy. Hopefully you avoided it completely.

I have never heard of that wild flower before now. I do know what poison ivy looks like and it is a pain to get rid of. Sunny today with mild temps here today.

We've so much poison ivy. I'm happier seeing the flowers, but they won't last long now.

It's such a beautiful, delicate flower. NOT the poison ivy. I detest that stuff.
Blessings,

Lovely flower- and it's medicinal too. Good for GTI issues and it's ant inflammatory.

Went to a visitor's center once, and they had specimen of poison ivy growing in a pot with a sign "Don't Touch." As if we needed the warning. Beautiful flower.

It's like the poison ivy is guarding that pretty wildflower against anyone picking it.

I may have seen those but ... not sure. Poison Ivy? Yeah, I see that often and avoid it.
The Blue Lobelia is blooming right now all over on the edges of the woods and trails.

Love those colors together.
