Wildflowers of the Northeastern and Northcentral US

Workday, argh, must type quickly, onto the 135 Clarendon LaSalle express bus in 45 minutes!
Discovered this wildflower site this morning while verifying that the fantastic red flower I took pictures of during a Wisconsin fishing trip (image below) was actually Indian Paintbrush; it wasn't :) Its Red Lobelia or Cardinal Flower, and the picture doesn't do it justice. The red is so intense its like a flame searing thru the woodland shade. Nice that we can now capture it via camera instead of picking it; apparently like so many other beautiful wild things, it was loved almost to death and now is somewhat rare. I've only ever seen it in places that required a canoe to access.

Also learned from the wildflowers site that the Robin is the Wisconsin state bird; now that's a bit freaky, guess I really am heading home. Yay! Okey doke, gotta bolt to my cube, carpe diem!
