Name that Plant! Flora-quest 2010 Collective Naturalizing.
OK flora-questers and beyond, let's see how well you remember what you saw! And everybody else can play too! All images taken in Shawnee State Forest this past weekend.
Other than the orchids (I'd have to look them up to identify which is which), I'd say 1 is an azalea, no idea on 2, 3 is a tiarella, and 6 is a dwarf crested iris. How did I do? (I have some of that tiarella, which I got in another location in Ohio, where there were oodles of them. It's quite happy in my garden and has multiplied quite a bit since 2008.
Okay Tom, without looking at anyone else's answers: 1: Pinxter flower 2: sedge (can't remember the species, but I got a pic of it, too) 3: Foam flower 4: Pink lady's slipper 5: Whorled Begonia (of which all my pictures came out horribly!) Thanks for sharing these. They are lovely. 6: Dwarf Crested Iris 7: Showy Orchus Doing this at work, so I don't have my notes to cheat off of! :) I REALLY hope to get some of my photos up on my blog this weekend, and onto the Flickr page, too.
Wow! Ohio orchids! Very cool!

Very nice collection!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos! Especially that sedge, it was one I wanted to ID!
ReplyDeleteHow about a hint? Does it start with a "B"?
Absolutely gorgeous! I can't name them, but I can enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteHe's some help with #2- It's Carex torta, twisted sedge!
