Today I am going to present unusual flowers.

This is called Jack-in-the-Pulpit. The flower is that tube (spadix) sticking up in the upper middle of the image surrounded by the spathe.

Skunk Cabbage. This plant emerges through the snow in late winter. The first image shows a more photogenic image and the second one shows the flowers inside the spathe.

What great flower images Doug, Alan and Jameel.

My offering is not even in the same league. It's a scanned slide from the 1980;s.

My wife and I used to drive up the east side of Lake Pend D' Orielle using forest service roads. One year we spotted this immense field of white. When we got down to the level of the field, we found an old abandoned pasture that was filled with white daisies. We went back in later years but it was never this full.

Not sure what this is Doug, but it was around one of the ponds that I run around.

I believe that its called blue throatwort (Trachelium caeruleum).

Dirty little trick for identifying flowers - take a shot with your iPhone and then open the image in Photos. Click on the circled i down at the bottom and it will bring up a dialogue box with a line for Identify Plant. It will look up the plant. I identified this one by taking a shot of the screen with your bloom showing and it gave me the name.

I think your identifier might be wrong on this one, Alan. I believe that this is a purple milkweed. The flowers and leaves are right.

Purple Milkweed (fs.fed.us)

That is quite the dense wildflower field, Ben!
