I recently popped by to visit where family has lain since departing this particular plain many years ago and I admit I was jealous how rural their space has remained. I find myself surrounded by so much urban reality it’s jarring daily; and unplugging to head out to an area that resembles what my home once was like feels out of scope. I wonder if Dad’s vantage point means he looks out, and feels reassured all is still well? If only he could drive a few clicks in either direction he’d feel dislocated. On a completely different note, I’ve made a call to see about donating benches for when you forget your jacket to sit on the dry crab grass.

a few wet meadow, specifically shallow water wet meadow obligates but not necessarily fen obligates or bog obligates.
While these are all part of the flora associated with the sedge meadows and marl flats of Cedar bog(a fen) they are not limited nor committed to cold water streams or cold ground water. Just areas where water levels and turbulence are never in fluctuation and with moving water with enough motion to not be stagnant but also have low competition for light requirements.
The first pictured is a species of twayblade orchid
Liparis loeselii , yellow lipped twayblade, fen orchid, or bog orchid(though I have never heard of this species in a true bog).
In Hueston woods sp, by the archery range and banding station, there is a road cut that seeps out of ordovicean clay in between bedding layers of Ohio’s famous fossiliferous limestone. It has very alkaline water quality and seems to be hydrologically active through out the year. This is a cut and not a true fen however, yet, here i’ve seen the most fen orchid instead of places like Gallagher fen, Zimmerman State Nature Preserve, or Cedar Bog SNP. Still in open sun though, still requiring no shading out.
This next species is a cryptic species in my opinion, you wouldn’t know it existed unless you saw it in bloom or were identifying everything in a quadrat by keying. It really does look like a strange sedge/monocot at first glance before the buds appear. Even grass like when the inflorescence hasn’t produced buds. When it’s in bloom or in seed, it’s clear as day.
Grass Pink Orchid, pineland orchid, pink sedgemeadow orchid, tuberous rooted grass pink orchid.
Calopogon tuberosus
A catapult orchid with a really cool weight based lobellum lever that easily hinges downward tword’ the column and anther cap.
an interesting pollination symptom but thats only half of that story.
The species is really associated with nutrient poor (ericaceous) soils that are somewhat acidic at surface with well leached mineral based soils associated with the horizon below. I’ve seen these in wet areas of pine lands and seep meadows on hills in Missouri that are both not true fens nor bogs. Bogs and fens are usually where most people claim to see these.
Flat leaved trailing bladder wort,
Utricularia intermedia
there are a few flat headed wide brimmed trailing bladderworts in this fen’s sedgemeadow/marl flat complex. It’s luckily easy to ID them from phenology of blooms because taking them out of water and allowing them to flatten out from desiccation on the boardwalk is prohibited. I don’t blame them for having these policies because they are really cool plants and I want more of them not less, rather not risk any damage to them and they are rare in Ohio. Very delicate, require clear water, low turbulence and no rough substrate. Ample sunlight is also critical for this species to thrive. The frond like foliage has no floaters or pneumatophores, terminal bladders which can be seen, and they appear to lay flush and imbricate in water, yet to truly identify it looking at how flat and squared off these leaf like branches are is critical. The bladders are like venus fly traps for underwater microorganisms like water fleas. If you feel lost on ID, check out the identification book in the naturalist center, cross reference with INAT, and ask the naturalist.

Drop by to learn more about author Joan Soggie and her books Prairie Grass and Rikka.
Welcome to Joan Soggie, a fellow BWL Author! Joan writes some fabulous stories of the Canadian Prairies where she lives. I look forward to learning more about her!
I live and write in a small Saskatchewan town, set beside a lake that was a river, surrounded by fields of canola that once were a buffalo plain. My lifelong curiosity has led me to explore the natural history of the land as well as…

The last of the prairie is going to die.
Soon too.
There’s not much left to begin with.
It’s all suburbs and asphalt and creeping wind farms.
They are making another wind farm. All the way to the state boarder.
The prairie will die.
Cut up by roads and power lines feeding the growing cities that don’t need to grow, not there, not this way.
It’s the last place the bison roam. The last song of the prairie hen and the fall of the bald eagles.
The last of the prairie is dyeing.
And I can’t even weep no more.
