I need to take pictures of the Maryland meadowbeauty for a project. I've pulled some pics of the internet but could really use some personal pics.
Not seeing any around...lol. Any suggestions? TIA!!

I was hoping to get a few of my own maybe with me in the pic for some extra credit to show I actually LOOKED at the flower. LOL! Are they everywhere?? I can't seem to find any. I am SO not a botany girl...maybe I am just missing them?

Are they a wild flower?

Meadow beauty grows best in a sunny exposure. It is adapted to heavy textured and to highly organic soils. Natural stands are usually found on moist to wet sites such as in ditches, marshes, and wet meadows.

Call DNR for locations or visit...

My favs: Virginia Bluebells!

Mmmm-mmm. Blue---Bells. [she says a la Homer Simpson]

They are such neat flowers! Smell great, and I love the way the flowerbuds are pink and turn blue as they open.

I also like Jack-in-the-Pulpit. Talk about an odd-looking wildflower! And perky little Johnny-Jump-Ups (okay, so those are escapees. They're still cute.) And the early-spring carpet of delicate-pink Spring Beauties. Gorgeous!

I love Cosmos-I have a huge field filled w/them and assorted Black-Eyed Susans, Queen Annes Lace and Bluebells.
