June pics, southwest Minnesota:
Houstonia longifolia, Opuntia fragilis, and Opuntia fragilis with a grass and Plantago patagonica

Phemeranthus parviflora and Coryphantha vivipara
August:
Aristida basiramea
October pics, southwest Minnesota:
Bouteloua gracilis, Opuntia fragilis and Phemeranthus parviflora
