I walked through Seven Ponds Nature Center in Dryden, Michigan. It was raining, but the colors are very clear and crisp. All photos I photographed are from today at the Nature Center Wildflower Garden.

Great news: The Seven Ponds nature center responded to my message about this plant. The crew will dig it up and transplant it in a more secluded spot. The plan is to cover the field with plastic to kill the invasive crown vetch where this Horsemint plant is currently located.

Great news: The Seven Ponds nature center in Michigan responded to my Facebook message about this plant. The crew will dig it up and transplant it in a more secluded spot. The plan is to cover the field with plastic to kill the invasive crown vetch where this Horsemint volunteer plant is currently located. I am grateful for their concern and help.
