MuleShack Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 We planned on a 4 day fishing vacation to Upper Red Lake this last weekend but the wind and the weather had some other plans. On Friday the wind was blowing at 30-40 mph with gusts higher than that so boating was out of the question. So we went out on a drive to see what was around the area and discovered the BIG BOG visitors area where you can walk a mile out into the bog on an aluminum path. Some interesting flowers and things growing up there. I was using my 70-300 with a tamron 1.4 converter in search of wildlife but being the wind was so high we only saw a few geese. Only had a couple turn out nice due to the plants moving in the wind and I discovered I had my camera set to spot metering which made some pictures very light. (lesson learned) Enjoy!! I think this is called a pitcher or picture plant?? Cant remember what these are called but they grow upside down ish... Here they are both co-habitating This is a wild iris I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuleShack Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 Now we get to the state flower... I thought this one was cool cause it looks like they are talking to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I believe the second shot and third are the flower to the pitcher plant. You then have a Blue Flag Iris, followed by the Ox-eye Daisy. In your second set the first few are the Yellow Lady's Slipper followed by the Pink Lady Slipper which is of course our state flower.
