Thursday, 8:00 AM. 65 degrees, wind W, calm. The sky is cloudless, the channel glassy. The barometer again predicts rain but it looks unlikely today.
I have keyed out the tall white flowered plant growing among the lupines on the corner of Hwy. 13 and Bodin Rd. as a sweet cicely, Osmoriza divaricata, in the parsley family. Fasset’s Spring Flora of Wisconsin states that this species grows only in Bayfield County near Lake Superior, so if my identification is correct I have found a rather rare local plant. It is very attractive and has a nice fragrance.
