A disjunct population of Petasites frigidus in Dakota County, MN. Nearly 100 miles south of its contiguous range. There’s a healthy population at this wetland!

Note: the flowers emerge first, and I believe the plant will bolt about a foot or two before they flowers fully bloom.

That’s a whole lot of native seed for this solar array. My only question is, how will we get power at night!?🥸
