Macro shot of the beautiful Star-flowered Solomon's Seal flowers, taken in Weaselhead on 14th June. This beautiful, native wildflower belongs to the Lily Family (Liliaceae). Flowers, up to 6 mm wide, are white and star-shaped (have six petals). The flowers form a loose group at the end of a leafy stem. Berries are greenish with dark stripes, then turn red, then nearly black in early fall. Bears are very fond of these berries. Star-flowered Solomon's seal grows in woodlands, open meadows, and shores of sandy marshes. plantwatch.fanweb.ca/plant-information/star-flowered-solo...
