|Blue-Eyed Marys. These colorful wildflowers are usually |
widespread across moist wooded floodplains and gently
sloping, north facing upland wooded slopes. Colonies
can be several hundred square feet in coverage on the
|Fire Pink. Occurs mainly on dry upland south-facing wooded |
slopes commonly under stands of oak and hickory. Bright
red flowers with notches on the ends of the petals make
this plant easily identifiable in the field.
|Golden Ragwort. A generalist in terms of habitat, golden|
ragwort can be found from roadsides to deep within wooded
areas. The plant somewhat resembles hawkweed, but has
a purplish stalk and larger flowers. Commonly encountered.
