It was identified for me on the hike, but I forgot by the time I got home.<br /><br />Yeah, the bell-looking stuff was a tree, not a wildflower.

White blossoms are less common. The large, elliptical, waxy leaves are a dead giveaway.<br /><br />#2. Not violets but wild geraniums<I><B>(Geranium maculatum)</B></I>#3. Fleabane<I><B>(Erigeron philadelphicus)</B></I>. This spring-blooming Aster is identifiable by the large number of ray flowers which are generally whitish-purple to lilac in color. The stems are covered with fine, downy hairs.<br /><br />#4. Correct Bob. Specifically the Dwarf crested iris.<I><B>(Iris cristata)</B></I> Beautiful flower indeed.<br /><br />#5. Star chickweed<I><B>(Stellaria pubera)</B></I>. Actually, the blossoms are quite small and the petals deeply clefted giving the appearance of ten when there are only five.<br /><br />#6. Dog hobble<I><B>(Leucothoe editorum)</B></I>. Very dense and aggressive grower.<br /><br />#7. I have no idea. The blossom is still opening and I just couldn't tell big guy. It's from a tree or shrub.<br /><br />#8. Bob, these are Sourwood or Sorrell tree blossoms<I><B>(Oxydendrum arboreum).</B></I> Definitely a tree flower, not ground cover or shrub.<br /><br />#9. Foam flowers<I><B>(Tiarella cordifolia)</B></I>. The genus name is derived from the Greek word tiara, a turban worn by the Persians. This refers to the shape of the pistil.<br /><br />#10. Definitely a VIOLET.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
