Steve And Muffin’s Wildflowers #24.
Good morning! Our wildflower for today is the “Robin’s Plantain”, also called “Robin-plantain”. These flowers are 1 to 1.5 inches (2.5 to 3.75cm) across and grow from 8 to 24 inches (20 to 60cm) tall. The flower petals can number up to 100 and are very narrow and come in colors of light violet, pink or white. Around here they are always light violet. They bloom from April to June, again in our area I have only seen them bloom in June. Earlier blooming is likely in more southern areas. They usually produce 4 or 5 flowers per stalk. The stems and leaves are quite hairy. The plants prefer partly shady to sunny locations and are found in open woods, fields, stream banks and ditches. Here in Canada it’s found in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. In the US from Minnesota to Texas and eastward. We’ll be back next week with more wildflowers, have a great weekend and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

They are always nice to find, there isn’t a lot of them around anymore.

Why is that?

Mostly because people pick them. Unfortunately many times people are not careful and pull up the roots too because they grow generally in very loose soil. But they’re pretty so people like to pick them.

Sure is, we have lost quite a few of our wildflowers that way, including our most beautiful wild orchid that I will be showing soon.
