These beautiful, little, white Starflowers are blooming along the trails now. Each flower has 7-9 pointed petals and 7 long stamens.  They are a tiny plant (4″-9″) with 1/2″ to 3/4″ white flowers which grow solo or in twos.

They like to grow in the cool, dry woods. I’ve seen them at Wiley Park, Beech Forest Trail and the Red Maple Swamp Trail at Fort Hill, as well as the Wellfleet Bay Wildife Sanctuary.

Beautiful little wildflower, don’t you think?
