Here at INHF, Valentine’s Day has us itching for the sight of wildflowers, like this Cardinal flower (Lobella cardinalis), blooming in Iowa’s rolling hills and beautiful prairies again.

What flowers do you miss the most during the winter months? Feel free to send us a photo or tag us in a Facebook photo of one of your favorites!
