Wildflowers of the Keweenaw Peninsula
Here by popular (read: absolutely zero) request, a wildflower post!
I found several wildflowers Iâd never encountered, and a few I had. Hereâs a sampling. (Please forgive blurry or poorly posed flowers. I originally took them for help with identification, then decided to actually post them later.)
