Foam Flower Tiarella cordifolia April 30, 2003
Foam Flower is found throughout the watershed in shady, moist, deciduous woods. Variants of foam flower include flower color ranges from pink to white and some have unique foliage colors as well.
Pink Lady's-Slipper Cypripedium acaule May 6, 2003
Pink Lady's-Slipper is one of the largest and most beautiful of our native orchids. It may be found throughout the watershed in pine-dominated deciduous forests. It's other common names include "Stemless Lady's Slipper" and "Moccasin Flower." Stemless refers to the two basal leaves which extend directly from the ground with no stems. Cypripedium acaule is on the list of Georgia Threatened Species.
Mountain-Laurel Kalmia latifolia
Mountain-Laurel is found throughout the watershed in deciduous woods where the soil is sufficiently acid. It is in full bloom during mid-May.
Wild Columbine Aquilegia canadensis
Wild Columbine can be found along rocky ledges, dry banks, roadsides, and woodland edges. It doesn't favor very rich soil, and seems to enjoy well drained, slightly acid, sandy loam.
Cardinal Flower Lobelia cardinalis
Blooms in low moist areas, marshes and wet meadows, and along creeks and streams throughout the watershed. Cardinal flower is easy to propagate from seed. The seed should be collected during September and October after the seed pods turn brown and dry. The very small seeds should be put in a seed tray with moist potting soil and refrigerated for 5 weeks. After refrigeration place them in a window with good southern exposure. They'll be ready to plant in the garden in early spring.
Turk's-Cap Lily Lilium superbum
The tall Turk's cap lily blooms during July and August in low lying areas, such as moist meadows, and damp thin wood
