Nature
Plants & wildflowers
From bloodroot in April to cardinal flower in August — 749 species of plants, with June the month the most species are recorded.
Spring in the river woods begins with ephemerals — bloodroot, hepatica, rue anemone and wood anemone — that flower and fade before the trees leaf out. Wild geranium and columbine follow in May. In summer the action moves to the restored prairie and savanna, with lupine, bergamot, black-eyed Susan and milkweed. Wet ground along the river holds marsh marigold in spring and the scarlet cardinal flower in late summer. Eastern white pine — the tree that built Marine — still towers over the bluffs.
Naturalists have logged 749 species of plants & wildflowers within 10 km of the village. The most species are recorded in June. Below are the 200 species with at least two research-grade records, most-recorded first.
