I went on a walk recently to a property owned by an organization called Conserving Carolina. The narrow trail started out crossing a lovely, rock-filled river and then gradually made its way up the mountain to a giant rock face where a steady stream poured over the top and down the stone in a mesmerizing flow of dancing water. Like many trails in western NC in spring, this one had no shortage of wildflowers.
One flower that was very common was our puzzler for this week–a distinctive white flower that is shaped like mini pantaloons and has fern-like leaves. Check it out here:
Use the reply box below to give your guess, then check back next weekend to see if you were correct. Hope you get to spend some time outside this weekend looking for wildflowers and other interesting things. What’s blooming where you live? I’d love to hear from you!
A fun name…….Dutchman breeches.
Colleen! Nice to see you here! Yes, Of course you are correct— don’t you wonder who named this? But, it certainly is a fun, and fitting name.
Who knew the Dutch wore pantaloons!?
Right? They are perfectly named though, don’t you think?
We were just talking about Dutchman’s breeches!! 🙂 I am still on the lookout for it up here in RI. Your photos are gorgeous, Sharon. <3
Great to see you here, Lisa! I hope you find some soon! It’s a great flower( though aren’t they all?)
