| Fire Pink Silene virginica |
These flowers are a delight to see because they are the reddest things in the woods! You'll be walking along looking at shades of brown and dark green and then poof, there are a bunch of little fires along the forest floor.
They are rather uncommon plants found in open woodlands. It is thought that fire suppression has been a factor in their rarity since woodlands overgrow quickly without some sort of disturbance to clear the forest canopy.
