MN DNR Concerned Over Theft of State Flower

A couple of weeks ago on this blog I posted several photos of Minnesota's state flower, the Lady's Slipper.

We here on Leech Lake's Ottertail Peninsula are fortunate enough to have the flower grow in various locations along our roads. But unfortunately, some people can't leave well enough alone, and for reasons known only to themselves, they feel that they have the right to dig up the state flower.

Apparently, this "theft" is spreading to Minnesota's state parks and other public lands. Click here to read the report.
