These plants bloom in the bog in areas that the boardwalk doesn't allow us to follow. This area provides you with educational information and insight into some of the plants that are in the bog that we never get to see. All these pictures were provided by Dave Berry who worked with Terry Jaworski to collect pictures of the plants in the bog. This is not a complete list. You can hike many trails in Ohio and see these plants.
