Hamamelidaceae April 24, 2005 Endangered This shrub grows in dry woods in Tennessee. I cheated on this photo, I found these flowers growing around a church sign in Oak Ridge! The white stamens are easy to see on the blooming flower, note the double pistils on the older flowers in the background. Perennial - Shrub Where seen: Oak Ridge
Bleeding Heart Family Height: 4" - 12" April 15, 2005 Dutchman's Breeches (a.k.a. "Little Boy Plant") is closely related to Squirrel Corn (a.k.a. "Little Girl Plant") and the leaves are nearly identical. The flowers look like little white pants hanging on a line to dry. The plant is only a few inches high, so you'll have to look closely to find it. Perennial Where seen: Great Smoky Mountains NP, Norris Dam SP, Warriors' Path SP, Ijams Nature Center
