Stringflower: The 133nd Flower of Spring & Summer!


I was prowling around looking for this flower for weeks before it finally bloomed, and when it did, I went crazy taking pictures because I love it so much! Growing only a few inches tall, this gorgeous flower features blossoms about 1" in diameter, and as you can see from my images, the color ranges from pink-pearl white to blushing pink and the petals can vary in arrangement as well. (Apparently it can be white and purple as well in some places)
Stringflowers are native to western Oregon and northwestern California and grow in shady forests where it likes partial sun. You may see the similarity to carnations, as this flower is also in that family! The name "Stringflower" is given for one species which has white petals divided into four narrow, string-like lobes. (I found a very nice example of a white Stringflower on Flickr, thanks to Angelique Eeek)
If you would like more information about this flower, Wiki has a source here: Wiki: Stringflower (Silene hookeri)
