Wild Flower Report By HELEN BONTECOU SUMMER FLOWERS “Summer is with its seasonal wild flowers’ to add to those lingering from the spring. Many slopes are still golden with Scotch broom; the pine woods are carpeted with star flowers, those dainty * pink stars surrounded each one by a neat circle of leaves; there are also pale iris springing from the pine necdles, and the yellow star tulips, a chalohortus of the lily family, are not quite gone. The lily family, perhaps the most beautiful’ of all, is well represented in our area. Another chalohortus much larger than the star tulip, will soon abound on the dry slopes. This is the ‘Mariposa tulip, both white and yellow, appropriately icumen in” ble berry along the ditches. In the formation of the flowers and leaves there are the family characteristics. The largest of all the families is the sunflower, to which all the daisies belong. The center of the daisy is composed of tiny tubeshaped flowers, and _ this center is surrounded by a circle of white strap-shaped flowers or rays which look like petals. The thistle is also of this family, but its head is made of tube-shaped flowers only. Our red thistle is a particularly handsome one. We also have the usual purple, Scotland’s emblem, and that becausy it once saved their country.

One can also erijoy the spring wild flowers all over again by a trip to the mountains, where it is well known that lilies with their jewel-like blossoms are through blooming in the woods, but the large tigers and their close kin, the leopards, will soon be out in prcefusion, another glory of the ditches and also of the shaded slopes. The most exciting of all the lilies is probably the flowers are more brilliant Washington o r_ Shasta, which is like our Easter lily although “more white and glistening” with 2 to 20 blossoms on a stalk. One locality where it may be seen is near Snow Mountain Spring out Graniteville way. There if. you have a whiff of delicious scent you can search out a few plants in moderate shade in the forest. The lovety wild rose’ is with us spring, summer and early fall. The rose, more than any other flower, appears in literature through the ages. The expression, sub rosa, comes from Roman times when a rose over the door of a banquet hall was the symbol for secrecy. “Everyone who passed through the door was bound not to disclose anything . said or done within.
