I love the Spotted Wintergreen wildflowers that grow here on the Cape. They are so much fun to watch as they first bud, then bloom with the flower facing downward. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

The flowers are quite small, only 1″. When they are finished blooming, the flowers face up toward the sun. Such an interesting plant… and such unique little flower.

We saw very similar wildflowers when we lived in Colorado, but they were called Pipsissiwa and are in the same family but they are a bit taller than the Spotted Wintergreen’s 4″ to 10″ height.
