Plant Calendar
This calendar is the result of a study done by Mark Danielson for his Masters degree from Northern Michigan University. He studied the area in 1989 and 1990. Dates are the date on which he first observed an open flower. A botany study done in 2001 by White Water Associates made some modifications to Danielson's report and added additional species. Additional species of orchids have been discovered over the years, see our Orchid Brochure for the most current list.
