Title
A Most Unusual Wildflower
Artist
David Perry Lawrence
Medium
Photograph - Giclee Photographic Print
Description
This small lavender white flower grows all spring and summer long in a nature preserve behind my home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It is extremely unusual in that instead of the yellow grains of pollen which most flowers have, it has small transparent purple balls, clearly visible in this macro, or close-up, photo. You can see them being squeezed out of the curved purple anthers of the flower, and pollinating the flower by attaching themselves to the white stigma rising in the middle. Among all the flowers and wildflowers that grow in this area behind my house, this is the only one which has blooms like this. As you can see, there are many buds on a stalk, each of which unfolds to form a new flower.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the name of this flower by searching online. If you can identify it, please let me know.
