A spectacular extension of Leif Erikson Park, Duluth's Rose Garden offers a beautiful arrangement of more than 3,000 rose bushes and other floral delights. There's also a fountain, a marble gazebo, an herb garden and plenty of benches overlooking the lake.

northernimages > This common white and yellow Daisy of the fields grows in meadows, pastures, and roadsides throughout the Northland.

northernimages > This is truly one of the prettiest of the Native orchids. Reaching a height of 1-2 feet with leaves up the stalk, on top sits a beautiful yellow slipper like flower. This patch is located in Jay Cooke Park just west of Duluth. Flowers are always a joy to behold, the closer you look, the more perfection and beauty you see.

northernimages > The showy lady's slipper is Minnesota's state flower. It is one of 43 orchid species that grow in Minnesota. Many people, myself included, consider it the most beautiful flower in the state. Interestingly, some people get a rash from touching the leaves of this lovely orchid. After arriving early in the morning, to photograph the Lady's Slippers in the calm damp morning air, I was simply amazed at the awesome beauty in this one patch of flowers. It became even more breathtaking as I zoomed in on this single flower. Like much of Gods creation, you see more glory as you take a closer look. As I stooped down to make sure the focus was correct, I couldn't help thinking how short the time was that this blossom would live, in a matter of a few days, it would be gone and no one would be able to enjoy it again. Than I considered how short our own life is on this earth, and how it is gone so quickly. Remember to make the days count, and give thanks to our creator for each one.

northernimages > Lupines color the hillsides throughout the Lake Superior region. There arent too many flowers with the wild color combinations, eye-catching shape and tidy, compact growth habit of lupines. And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. (Matthew 6:28)
