Clasping-leaved Twistedstalk

12 Jul 2009 176
Though this is a fairly new plant to me, especially one with flowers, I love it. Those tiny hanging bells are so delicate - and so difficult to focus on, especially in the low light of the forest. Hopefully, I'll get a really sharp image of them one of these days : ) This native plant is a member of the Lily family and grows in moist, wooded areas. The very small, whitish-green flowers occur on jointed and bent stalks that originate in the leaf axils. The flowers have 3 petals and 3 sepals, and grow June-July.
