I'm A Star!!

[best appreciated at full size against black]

While looking through my pictures of Smallflower Woodland Stars, I discovered a surprise! This blossom has a perfect star in its center, which I thought was too much fun to pass up!

If you didn't get a chance to read my information about this flower, here it is!

There are about a dozen species of Woodland Stars and they can be found all over the Western United States. Considered to be an herb, these flowers grow from rhizomes (bulblets) and can be found both in meadows and in deep forests. If you would like more information about these lovely little flowers, I found a nice source with lots of pictures here: Lithophragma: Woodland Stars
Wiki has a bit of information here: Smallflower Woodland Star
