Wildflower: A flowering plant that grows without cultivation.This is a journal of my discovery of wildflowers, which not only will provide my memory (since the biological memory is failing more and more,) but also can be a valuable record as to when certain wildflowers will be in bloom.

Double Trillium grandiflorum – Nantahala Gorge
Posted on April 11th, 2013 No commentsAs my wife and I were returning from North Carolina on Monday, we passed a huge display of Trillium grandiflorum along the roadway. (Several Trillium simile also included – we’ll see those later.) Amongst the display I found this double form of the plant. I don’t recall seeing one before. 6 petals, 6 leaves (bracts), 6 sepals (presumably, I see 5 in the photo, but didn’t count because I was precariously positioned on the roadbank taking the photo.)

#Wildflowers at The Pocket – Short Update 04/06/2013
Posted on April 6th, 2013 1 commentSorry, but I don’t have time for a full update. Quickly, however – the Bent White Trillium have started their bloom, Phacelia and Phlox are full-blown. There are a few Trillium cuneatum that have opened up along the horse trail. Dutchman’s Breeches and Bloodroot are gone, and Hepatica are almost completely gone (supplanted by Rue Anemone.)
