In Case You Didn't Know ...
From the delicate flowers of the field bluets ... to the audacious blossoms of the water lily ... to the high-hanging rather obscure pedals of the maple ... all display the wide variety of flowers that set this division of the Plant kingdom apart from all others.
In addition to the few hundred species of flowering plants historically known to inhabit the Park, DLIA-sponsored inventories have added an amazing 58 more new discoveries.
