Appalachian Fameflower (Phemeranthus teretifolius)
Walton
County, GA
Appalachian Fameflowers grow in granite outcrops in this
area, often in only an inch or so of soil. They are fascinating in that they
begin to open in the late afternoon and take about 15 minutes to open; they
close again in the evening
We collected a few plants from an small non-protected area
where garbage was being dumped and have them growing and blooming in a small
container. They continue to delight with their small flowers.
