Minnesota Wildflowers: A Project for Environmental Justice
Here you'll find images and information about wildflowers that grow in Minnesota, both native and non-native. Our goal is to educate Minnesotans on our native plants, raise awareness on threats like invasive species, and hopefully inspire people to explore our great state, appreciate its natural beauty, and become involved in preserving it.
Over 300 species of wildflowers are cataloged here with more added each week. Over 2000 photos have been posted so far and there are lots more to come.
