Description
A close-up view looking into the flower of Simpson's zephyrlily.
A frequent wildflower of wet flatwoods and meadows mostly in the central peninsula south into Collier County. The range includes the southeastern coastal states from Mississippi into North Carolina.
The mostly white flowers are funnel-shaped and up to 5cm (2 in.) across and solitary on a stalk up to 30.5cm (12 in.) tall. There are pink stripes on the backs of the sepals and the pink tinge on the flowers darkens as they mature. Z. simpsonii differs from other species of this genus by having a three-parted stigma that is nearly the same height or slightly shorter than the anthers, all of which extend beyond the green perianth tube.
While most of this genus blooms after spring or early summer rains, Simpson's zephyrlily typically flowers in response to fire naturally started by summer thunderstorms. The species is named for Illinois botanist Joseph Herman Simpson(1841-1918) who moved to Bradenton in 1882 and collected plants in south Florida for the United States National Herbarium.
