As regional context only — not as today’s readings — in the Midwest & Great Lakes pattern, the plants that typically shape this city’s year are spring trees, late-spring and summer grasses, and late-summer and autumn ragweed.

The Minnesota allergy season guide singles out birch, a signature northern spring pollen, and southern-Minnesota ragweed.
