Shooting Stars in the Rain

This is national wildflower week!  Yesterday a new flower at the park started blooming.  It was tough to identify.  Although it is native to Minnesota, it is not common, especially in this part of the state.  They were probably planted several years ago along with other wildflowers as part of a park project.

This is a Shooting Star (Dodecatheon meadia.) 

Some came in shades of purple.

There are a number of patches of this flower along the creek.  Especially on the sloped parts of the creek banks.

Hope you enjoyed!
