While in southern Illinois, we explored the swamps of the area via canoe. Rick from Peddles and Paddles gave us a tour of the swamps and lots of history and stories of the area.These were some of the unique swamp plants we found. The little white flowers were completely round with little white "petals" growing
from them, giving them a fuzzy appearance.
Yannie paddling through the algae covered swamp. It looked like we were paddle through a grassy field.
The State Champion Cyprus Tree. These trees were close to 1000 years old!
This was the cyprus tree with 209 knees.
