Spring flowers

📷 Canon R6 | 🎞️ Digital | 📍 Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary, MN

Today the Star Tribune reminded me that lady’s slippers - Minnesota’s state flower - are starting to bloom. One of the places they recommended was Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden, not far from Minneapolis.

I hadn’t been there before, so I went. The garden was charming, though a few trails (the ones where lady’s slippers are supposed to grow) were closed. So no state flower for me but I did find plenty of other wildflowers. And I liked the place enough to want to come back.

Plus, there are a bunch of bike trails nearby, so plenty left to explore.

Close-up of a bright yellow wood poppy flower blooming in a forest understory, surrounded by textured green leaves and soft sunlight.
Elegant red and yellow wild columbine flowers hang delicately from thin stems, arching above soft green foliage in a shady woodland setting.
Two white trillium flowers with three broad petals each, blooming above a bed of large green leaves in a lush forest clearing.
Small purple-and-white violet flowers peek out among rounded green leaves on the forest floor, lit by soft filtered light
