Rather fantastic little guys.

I tried to get many angles of these showy ones.  Just want to share a couple.

Nature walks at the Cedarburg Bog are well advised.  Don’t forget to schedule ahead, it isn’t open to the public.

The walk leader’s favorite flower.  Blasted flower is about the size of a pencil eraser.  I don’t remember what the name is, but I remember why she had it as a favorite.  Her comment was, how bizarre and amazing this plant develops such a uniquely structured flower likely intended to be pollinated by a single type of bug.  How strange and wonderful.
