Ok – so I’m giving up on trying to organize posts by type of flower – and will just do it by season at least for a while. There are lots of posts with just a few photos lined up – and at the rate I’m going – I may never get enough photos for an entire post dedicated to a specific type of flower.

So – here are some of the wonderful spring wildflowers I’ve photographed over the years

Pink Root

by hankinslawrenceimages | Feb 2, 2021 | Wildflowers

Pink Root (Spigelia marilandica), also known as Indian Pink and Woodland Pinkroot, is a late spring into early summer blooming wildflower here in the DC area. The distinctive red and yellow flowers stand out in the woods, or in a garden. Pink Root is native to much of the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States And if you are hoping to see hummingbirds in the garden, be sure to check out where the Pink Root is growing – hummingbirds love it!

I photographed this Pink Root at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, Maryland
