Great Lakes Alvars Flora
Cooper's milk vetch (Astragalus neglectus)
sideoats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula)
juniper sedge (Carex juniperorum)
Hill's thistle (Cirsium hillii)
Pitcher's thistle (Cirsium pitcheri)
ram's-head ladyslipper
(Cypripedium arietinum)
lakeside daisy (Hymenoxys herbacea)
dwarf lake iris (Iris lacustris)
Houghton's goldenrod (Solidago houghtonii)
northern dropseed (Sporobolus heterolepis)
I think I will select the Cooper's milk vetch, ram's-head ladyslipper, dwarf lake iris as these plants are among the rarer species that grow in the Alvars, as well as having very bright and beautiful blooms that are a source of food for the insects of the area.
The images below are in order
