Rare flower
June 2009, BCPF summer interns Meg Harvey and Linda Filo found Ororbanche uniflora (one-flowered broomrape), a Species of Special Concern in Wisconsin and a Brown County record. This rare plant typically grows in moist woods and streambanks, is 2″ – 8″ tall, and is parasitic on many types of plants. Interns found this unique species in three locations in Baird Creek parkway… just one more reason to protect the park we love!
