Title: point pelee wildflowers
Post by: gary yankech on May 05, 2014, 08:41:22 PM
While down at Pelee birding, since the birds were not out, I took notice of the wildflowers.....I am not so good at identifying wildflowers, but getting better! I am in the process of sifting through my Newcombs book, but if you known what these species are, I would greatly appreciate it. Enjoy!

Which Claytonia (Spring Beauty) species is this? I think  C. virginica

I know this is a Red Admiral butterfly, but what wildflower is it on? I think it is Purple Cress, am I right?

Confirmed the Purple Cress, Dutchman's Breeches and all three C. Virginica species.  The violet will be left as Viola Sp. Not enough detail in photo to determine species.
