Join us every week for our Wildflower Wednesday!
This week's flower: Snow-on-the-Mountain, Euphorbia marginata. These late-bloomers are related to poinsettias and have a similar structure. Blooming from July through October, this wildflower is enjoyed as much for its showy leaves as it is for its flowers. When damaged, it can exude a poisonous milky sap that can cause skin irritation.
Come out to Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve to see Snow-on-the-Mountain in bloom. Take a look at the picture from here at the preserve!
