Primrose Family Frozen Head State Park July 4, 2007 These plants were growing along the side of the trail going up to the fire tower. They were only about a foot tall, much shorter than other species of loosestrife. The leaves of this plant are very narrow. I had to get down on the rocky ground to take this photo. Ouch!

Lily family Height: 6' August 12, 2005 This was another one of those flowers that my husband had to pull over on the side of a gravel road for me to see! We were on our way to Max Patch with our friend Charlie when I spotted it. At first I thought it was a Turk's Cap Lily, but the petals are not reflexed as strongly.
