Iris Family This plant can have pale blue, or as in this case, white flowers. I found these in a cedar barren along the Haw Ridge Greenways Trail in Oak Ridge. Perennial Where seen:Haw Ridge Greenways Trail
Box Family March 28, 2005 You'll have to get out early in the spring to find this wildflower in bloom! I found these along the Oak Ridge Northridge trail. The genus name means "thick stamen." The leaves are evergreen, so you can find them during the winter and then watch for the flowers to emerge in the spring. This was my first new flower of 2004!
