It's always seemed that if Jim Henson had created fluppets (flower muppets?), these would be among them. Don't they look like something from the world of Kermit or Gonzo, or maybe even the Land of Gorch? Actually, they're determined immigrants from Eurasia, now growing in every state and province except AK, PE, and YT, and on GL and SPM. Lenawee Co MI, 4/30/11.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
