Wendy Burt ID's Marshburn's Mystery Flowers: Fire Pinks and Trout Lily Flowers are both pretty and useful as food and mineral sources Comments re photo 71897 Wildflower Mysteries from Charles Jeanne Marshburn II & Wildflower Mysteries from Charles & Jeanne Marshburn - II By Wendy Butler Burt The lovely Fire Pink (Silene virginica) provides a splash of scarlet in open woods and on rocky slopes in the Spring. These scarlet flowers provide nectar for just-returning hummingbirds. The Yellow Trout Lily (Erythronium americanum) also is known as the Dogtooth Violet, Adder's Tongue or Fawn Lily. It grows in colonies, spreading from thick underground stems in rich woods throughout most of the eastern U.S. Trout Lilies have been called "living phosphorus sinks" because their roots retrieve phosphorus from the soil and transfer it to the leaves, making the phosphorus available to herbivores such as deer. (adapted from "Wildflowers of Tennessee, the Ohio Valley and the Southern Appalachians" by Horn, Cathcart, Hemmerly and Duhl) - -Wendy Butler Burt This story was posted on 2017-04-01 12:34:11
