Phlox divaricate, a perennial with delightful blue or white flowers, is another woodland native which forms a mat of foliage with stems that typically reaching 10 to 12 inches tall. My friend Pat ...
Trillium grandiflorum in the foreground and the smaller Thalictrum thalictroides in the background are both spring ephemerals of North American deciduous forests. An ephemeral plant is a plant with a very short life cycle or very short period of active growth, often one that grows only during brief periods when conditions are favorable.
It is a spring ephemeral—foliage that grows in the spring dies down to its tuberous rootstock in summer. It has long-spurred flowers which appear in spring. The flowers may be mauve, purple, red, or white. The seeds contain an elaiosome that attracts ants, which transport the seeds into their ant colony.
It is a small spring ephemeral reaching only 5–15 cm tall when in flower, and slightly larger afterwards. Each spherical bulb gives rise to a single purplish stem, which terminates in an umbel. The flowers have white petals and large dark-reddish anthers. The teardrop shaped petals are 3-4 millimeters long, widely spaced and do not touch each ...
The flowers are perched on a pedicel (i.e., flower stalk) raising them above the leaf whorl, and grow pinker as they age. [9] [10] The flowers' stigmas are slender, straight or mostly so, narrowing at the end. [6] The white petals are much longer than the green sepals. [6] The flowers have six stamens in two whorls of three, which persist after ...
A yellow trout lily produces an erect flower stalk with a nodding, bisexual flower with 6 recurved, yellow, lanceolate tepals. The 20 to 33 mm long tepals are composed of 3 petals and 3 petal-like sepals. [3] E. americanum does not flower for the first 4 to 7 years of its life. [5] [6] In any given colony, only 0.5% will have flowers. [8] [3]
The inflorescence is a nodding group, or cyme of flowers located at the end of the arched stems. [3] The flower buds are pink, and the opened flowers are usually light blue, but occasionally pink and rarely white. [2] The flowers have 5 shallow lobes fused into a tube at the base of the flower, five stamens, and a central pistil . [3]
It is a spring ephemeral with a very short growing season. It emerges early in the spring, reproduces quickly, and dies back to its rhizome by midsummer. The flower of A. quinquefolia is nyctinastic, that is, the flower closes at night (and on cloudy days) and opens during the day. [13]
