Wildflower Surprises

Our last hike took us to a new area of our local mountains. Hiking along we noticed several new wildflowers. I was anxious to get home to look them up in the field guide.


Yellow star tulip 1
This is the first one: Yellow star tulip!


Slender iris -not sure
This one I think is a Slender iris.

What a wonderful way to learn about a new area by getting to know its wildflowers. I marvel at each new creation that I see. These two new wildflowers now are safely recorded in my nature journal.

    OH Barb, those are beautiful!
    I don't have a guide yet, and I've been searching online to ID mine...having trouble with a few...any suggestions until I can fit a new guide in the HS budget...??

    What part of the country do you live in? Maybe I can help find a website.

    We're in the South :o)
    I was going to order the Eastern Audubon Wildflower guide when we can!
    Thx!
