White Beardtongue: Delicate spring prairie flowers


In the eerie light of afternoon, before a major prairie storm rolled through, I set out to find prairie wildflowers and found White Beardtongue at the edge of our Grasslands National Park campground.

Despite the efforts of the mowers — who were likely hoping to keep mosquitoes and other bugs in check — several stands of wildflowers blossomed on the hill and along the fence lines, far off from our tent.
