Field Milkwort
(Polygala sanguinea) |
| I found this field milkwort while tromping through
a prairie with both dry areas and wet areas. When I realized I had
entered the wet area (my feet became damp), I looked down and noticed this
delightful little plant. If I hadn't looked past the tall prairie
plants, I would not have been able to photograph this colorful little plant.
