Found blooming in Ely by Erik W. L. Anderson (Be sure to check out the past reports linked at the right as well!)

We enjoyed a beautiful couple of days along the Kawishiwi Trail in Ely.  At Farm Lake I found a nice batch of Wood Anemone along with Strawberry and Dandelions. 

My favorite find was Marsh Marigolds all along the Garden Lake Road on Memorial Day.  There were hundreds of plants all along the road.  Down at the shore of Garden Lake, I found some nice Fly Honeysuckle bushes.

In town at Miner Lake, I found what appeared to be stunted Forget-Me-Not's blooming as a ground cover.

What we saw:

Anemone, Wood - Anemone quinquefolia
Dandelion, Common - Taraxacum officinale

Fly-Honeysuckle - Lonicera canadensis

Forget-Me-Not or possibly Gill-Over-The-Ground
Marsh-marigold, Cowslip - Caltha palustris
Strawberry, Common - Fragaria virginiana
