steven faucette i'm trying to find some interesting facts to go along with my wildflower photos. I'm doing some note cards with my images. The one wildflower I can't seem to find much about is the Shooting Star. Do you have any interesting facts about this wildflower. My photo is of a white one, not the maroon one.

Steven, There's a lot of resources on our website for getting info on flowers - the Native Plant Information Network includes plant records, a bibliography (to search for books on plants and plant lore), and the Smarty Plants Q&A archives may have some info. If you can't find what you're looking for, you can always Ask Mr. Smarty Plants.
