WILDFLOWER ROUTE

The Wildflower Route on Highway 11 spanning from Greenbush to Baudette contains an estimated 800,000 Showy Lady Slippers – the Minnesota State Flower.  The Minnesota DNR estimates there are more than two million orchids along the 75-mile stretch.  Orchids start blossoming around the first of May all the way to mid-September.  In addition to the Showy Lady Slipper, some of the native wildflowers that can be found along the route include, among others:  the Yellow Lady Slipper, Blue Eye Grass, Blue Flag Iris, Wood Lilies, Prairie Rose, and Meadow Rue.

To increase public awareness of this unique area and its flowers, the Williams Gardeners Club annually hosts a Wildflower Route. Please call Beverley Carlson at 218-783-6701 with questions.
