The yellow Lady Slippers like to grow in large patches throughout specific parts of the Northland. One of the most beautiful wild orchids is the Showy Lady's Slipper, with large, fragrant flowers it blossoms in early summer. The Showy Lady's Slipper is a larger plant, from 2 to 3 feet tall. They are illegal to pick in Minnesota. The most beautiful of North American Orchids Daisies Daisies decorate nearly all the roadsides in the Northland from mid-June through August.
Daisies are part of the sunflower family and seem to spring up everywhere.
Sooner or later we'll all be pushing up daisies. Actually they help the soil. Trillium is frequently grown in local wildflower gardens. The underground rootstalks were frequently gathered and chewed by local Indians for a variety of medicinal purposes. The plants have also been picked and eaten as cooked greens.
