Fire Pink
Silene virginica
A perennial catchfly native to central and eastern North America. The bright, fiery red flowers attract ruby-throated hummingbirds to pollinate them, and sticky sepals and stems on the plant act as a trap for small insects trying to climb up it, hence the name "catchfly" for plants in this genus. It prefers somewhat dry soils and part-sun, so it can be found on rocky slopes in open woodlands, savannas, and other similar habitats.
I found this fire pink growing in open, rocky woods near blackjack oaks and other drought-tolerant species.

Eastern Shooting Star
Primula meadia syn. Dodecatheon meadia
This native perennial has a range that spans throughout the central and eastern United States, where it can be found growing in a variety of habitats with acidic to neutral soils. Its nodding flowers resemble a shooting star and are usually white or lilac in color.
This particular plant was growing in a dolomite glade, but I've also found this species growing in moist, open forests over sandstone before.

Trillium viride
Endemic to east-central Missouri and south-west Illinois, this trillium species can be found growing in woods with rich soils and on rocky slopes. It blooms in mid to late spring and there are lookalike trilliums; however, T. viride has a characteristic unique only to it - tiny, yet visible stomata that look like white dots all over the top of its leaves.

The beauty of a sunflower field in a cloudy twilight.
'Cause I love to secure the stems of dying flowers.

This is a golden poppy sprout. I'm kinda scared it's the only one that's gonna grow-
My mom said this rose's name is something like "purple lady" I think?

My mom's Bagonias look more orange in the sun light. Also, Bagonias aren't supposed to be in the sun AT ALL, so oops on my part-
