Mountain Wildflowers

Bee Balm is an inhabitant of moist areas in woodlands and beside streams, ponds and lakes where it is often seen growing close to cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis).

Take a close look at the petals of a wild geranium flower and you will see dark blue lines leading from the outer edge to the center of the blossom.

Bear Corn’s odd look has people often mistaking it for a mushroom or some other type of fungus.

Looking like freshly laundered and starched pants that have been hung out to dry, the blossoms of the Dutchman’s Breeches sway back and forth in response to the slightest of breezes.

Wrapping around themselves like a pair of cupped hands, the mottled leaves of the Skunk Cabbage create a hood, protecting a spike of tiny yellow flowers.
