Against Nature’s Backdrop

Standing out against nature’s backdrop of green, here is a spiderwort. I wonder if it is called that because of it’s spidery looking center?

Cowles Bog – Indiana Dunes National Park

Native to Indiana, these pretty wildflowers can be found all along the Indiana Dunes National Park trails through most of spring and summer. I don’t know much about flowers but these seem pretty hardy. I’ve seen them in abundance under the shade of trees as well as spots full of sunshine. The true test would be whether or not they survive me trying to grow them in my garden!

  1. For such an ugly sounding name, it sure is a beautiful looking flower.

    1. Haha! So true. 😂

  2. The yellow stamens really pop – lovely macro, Pepper. These self-sow readily, just harvest some seeds and sow them… I’m sure you’ll find them happy to oblige!

    1. That sounds easy. I will give them a try. Thank you. 😊
