Chasing Minnesota's Native Wildflowers
Presenters | Phyllis Root and Kelly Povo, Local Minnesota Authors

Meet Phyllis Root and Kelly Povo, authors of Searching for Minnesota’s Native Wildflowers; A Guide for Beginners, Botanists, and Everyone in Between.

Phyllis, an award-winning author, has written many picture books about Minnesota, including Big Belching Bog, Plant a Pocket of Prairie, One North Star, and The Lost Forest, all published by the University of Minnesota Press. Kelly, a professional photographer for over thirty years, has exhibited in galleries and art shows across the country. Her photographs have been published on posters, calendars, note cards, and in books.  

After their first book about wildflowers Kelly and Phyllis started a blog  (flowerchasers) and they frequently send audio postcards of their searches to Minnesota Public Radio. They are still chasing flowers and love sharing what they learn with fellow wildflower lovers.

Whatever they are doing, Phyllis and Kelly laugh—a lot.
