Our Pickering Naturalists outing at Carden was on May 30, not May 29!!!! Botanically, Wylie Rd. is lined with sedges--take a good luck and rotate a stem--remember, sedges have edges, grasses do not.
Also, the Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum), a member of the Rose family, is displaying its long, erect silvery-pink wispy seedhead achenes. There are also masses of Indian Paintbrush, a red-orange member of the Broomrape family, and some Orange Hawkweed , a Composite. I do not believe any of us saw a Monarch Butterfly.
