Your afternoon Wildflower from the North Dakota prairie. The amazingly striking purples & oranges of Leadplant are blooming now. I’d say this one is special but ALL prairie plants are special. I do love the color combo. #wildflowers #flowers #wandering #northdakota #prairie

Chasing a Viceroy across the prairie & then trying to find it as it hides under the prairie grasses. #Butterflies #pollinators #wandering #northdakota #prairie

Your afternoon Wildflower! I’ve only found a few of these in my past wanderings but this year I’ve found quite a few! Mexican Hats are blooming right now on the North Dakota prairie! #wildflowers #Flowers #wandering #northdakota #prairie

With the prairie really blooming in wildflowers, the Bumblers are buzzing around! I was lucky to capture a few native bees feeding on native flowers in native prairie. A Brown-belted Bumblebee collecting pollen from Leadplant. #bees #pollinators #wildflowers #northdakota #prairie

Wildflower Wednesday & it’s afternoon! That means Wildflowers! How about a Western Prairie Fringed Orchid. They are blooming, in certain areas of the North Dakota prairie right now. They are fairly rare & I found these in a new area. #wildflowers #orchids #northdakota #prairie

Today is about Bee Butts! A Brown-belted Bumblebee gives us a moon as it feverishly gathers pollen from a Wild Rose flower. If you look closely you can see its brown belt. #bees #pollinators #wildflowers #flowers #northdakota #prairie

Flower Friday! I luv the iridescent fuchsia & the bright, deep orange colors of Purple Prairie Clover. I also luv how the orange sticks up & above like little balloons. #wildflowers #flowers #northdakota #prairie

Another week has slipped into the time abyss. Sit quietly with a rare prairie wildflower & listen to the prairie birds acknowledge your existence. The Western Prairie Fringed Orchid is your Friday Prairie Zen. Volume up & enjoy! #prairiezen #wildflowers #northdakota #prairie

The prairie is alive with quick little flying & buzzing Bumblers dashing from flower to flower. Like this Brown-belted Bumblebee as it collects pollen from Wild Rose flowers. Your Sunday morning Prairie Zen. Volume up & enjoy! #prairiezen #bees #wildflowers #northdakota #prairie

It may be Monarch Monday but this isn’t a Monarch butterfly. It’s a Viceroy butterfly doing its best impersonation of a Monarch. #butterfly #pollinators #northdakota #prairie

Wildflower Wednesday! Purple Prairie Clover’s cousin, White Prairie Clover. It’s not as colorful & not as common as PPC. It is always a treat to find blooming on the prairie. #wildflowers #flowers #northdakota #prairie

Your Afternoon Wildflower! The beautiful & important prairie plant, Lead Plant. Beautiful purple & orange flowers attract many species of native bees. It’s shrub like appearance provides nesting habitat for many grassland birds. #wildflowers #flowers #birds #northdakota #prairie

Flower Friday! The fuzzy looking flowers of White Meadowsweet are important to pollinators like native bumblebees. The 2nd photo illustrates this as the flowers are being photobombed by a Half-black Bumblebee. #wildflowers #flowers #bees #pollinators #northdakota #prairie
