Found these in the Greenbrier area of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. The Dwarf Crested Iris ( Iris cristata) 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.

Stunning beauty Gary; awesome find and capture! JD
I use to have some of these in my woods and they were destroyed when Steve was working on drainage issues. These are particularly beautiful and a joy to view. Great shot!!
Just wonderful Gary…have missed your lovely photos!
Beauty, Gary! Nicely captured!
This is beautiful Gary – to see them growing wild like this is amazing.
This is so very pretty, Gary! xo
LOVELY!!!!!
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.
Like the placing of them all around the bottom of the tree trunk Gary
