Mother’s Day Flower Revealed as Camassia scilloides

With her keen eye, Nina of Nature Remains correctly identified the mystery mother’s day flower. She gets the unofficial Ohio Nature Blog “Botanist of the Day” award. Here are a few more images of this plant using both artificial and natural light. I’m curious to see if our northeastern friends and nature bloggers this plant up their way, I’ve only become familiar with it after moving to central Ohio. It is quite a plant, it seems to grow in colonies, making it a great subject for landscape photography!
