Woodland Bouquet
Found these in the Greenbrier area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Dwarf Iris ( Iris verna ) is a real eye catcher anywhere you find them. While the Star Chickweed (Stellaria pubera) was a wonderful complement to them. So often we get in to big a rush, to get where we are going, to really take in the small beauties of the forest floor.
Chickweed is a good diuretic that want deplete the body of minerals. It also can be used as a poultice to soothe irritated skin… The dwarf iris was used as a blood purifier, for dropsy, and as a laxative
Also anyone viewing this with a Calibrated Monitor please let me know on color and sturation,just got a new monitor and havein trouble ajusting to flat screens
Gotta include one for the Granddaughter too.

Very fortunate to have these flowers on hand. Well done, particularly your little close up on the side. I have a low price Samsung LCD monitor and calibrate it monthly. The colours look good density, brightness and saturation on my screen.
