Finding the rarest flower in Illinois

The Kankakee Mallow (Iliamna remota) is a special little flower. The only place in the world it's found in the wild is on a single small island in the middle of the Kankakee River in Illinois - but until last year, it hadn't been seen in over a decade, and was feared to be extinct. Thanks to volunteer efforts, we got to be some of the first to see it back in bloom! If you want to know more, help out, and follow the progress of the Kankakee Mallow, check out the Friends of Langham Island group:   / langhamisland   More info here: http://www.langhamisland.org Habitat 2030: http://habitat2030.org/ You can get involved in habitat restoration with The Field Museum!
