California Fetid Adderstongues blooming in Forestville this week. Their scent reminds me of raw meat, which draws in their fungus gnat pollinators.💚

Although the berries of Canada Gooseberry are edible, they can be quite tart if picked too early. When ripe, the berries turn colour from green to reddish purple or black. Animals like bears and birds also like to eat the berries, so you may have some competition for them! #WildflowerWednesday
A watercolour painting of a cutting of a plant. The upright branch has small groups of leaves growing off at regular intervals with small white-pink blossoms near the leaves. Near the base of the plant handwriting read, “N.C. / v. 1910”.

Arctic Sweet Coltsfoot leaves are said to resemble the shape and size of a young horses’ foot! It’s a large plant with several dense clusters of white flowers. Even in fruit it’s lovely, as each seed possesses long white tufts of hairs to help them disperse in the wind. #WildflowerWednesday
A watercolour painting of the upper portion of a plant. Leaves peel back from a thick stem, and at the top is a cluster of small white flowers. Either side of the painting are small illustrations of the fruiting flower and the tufted seeds. Small handwriting reads, “NC / 27.V.07”.

Western Ragwort is a native species with yellow flowers grouped into dense clusters, and leaves covered with long, sometimes cobwebby hairs. Growing in dry prairies in the south, the flowers provide pollinators like bees, flies, and butterflies with nectar in early spring. #WildflowerWednesday
A watercolour painting of two sections of a plant. On the left side it the upper portion, with two clusters, or “heads”, or small yellow flowers. On the right side is the lower portion of the plant, a thick stem interspersed with large green leaves. Between the two sections, small handwriting reads, “N.C. / Feb 1909”. Printing in pencil in the lower right corner reads, “Senecio interjerimus”.

Another #random photo from the archives for #WildflowerWednesday with a bonus #butterfly. Every time I look at this photo, I think it looks like the butterfly is playing a red upright bass. (I know. I'm weird.)

Early Meadow-rue is one of the rarer species of meadow-rue’s in Manitoba, being found only in the southeast. Unlike most wildflowers, this species produces separate male and female plants. As the flowers are wind-pollinated, they are unscented and lack colorful petals. #WildflowerWednesday

In the bottom right corner, handwriting reads, “N.C. / June 13th 1898”. Cursive in the lower left corner reads “Thalictrum dioicum”.
