Looking for the pasqueflower
After finding the snow trillium in the odd spring heat, I was wondering if the pasqueflower would be blooming in the prairie. I made the short journey north to visit Ottawa Bluffs. I was almost 90 degrees by the time I got out to site. Slowly up the steep bluff I climbed until I made it to the top. My body wasn't acclimatted to this weather and I really hoped I could find a few individuals after the climb. Looking up and down the area I know they grow and couldn't find any. I was on the phone with my mom when I almost gave up. Right by my hiking boot was a small flower blooming through the leaf litter. Spring is here in the Minnesota River. Only a few are up and blooming but I saw so many closed blooms getting ready to open.
