Wolf Creek is known for its trout lilies, Erythronium umbilicatum. It may very well have the densest population in the world. The forest is carpeted as far as the eye can see. Trout lilies are rare in this area, and just below the state line in Florida, they are endangered.
Sadly, this location is not safe from development. The owners are selling it, and although it's at a reduced price and the state has given a grant for half the price, the funds are still short. There's still a move to save it, but if another $50,000 isn't raised by April 1, 2009, this natural site may disappear, along with all the wonderful plant life.

UPDATE!!! Wolf Creek has been saved by donations! This land will now be preserved. I hope I can return and take more photos someday. :)
After a very cold winter, it was nice to visit one of our favorite sites for wildflowers in the North Carolina mountains that is near Saluda and Pearson Falls. These dimpled trout lilies (Erythronium umbilicatum) were just beginning to open up.

This design comes from Rona Gurkewitz and Bennet Arnstein's Beginners Book of modular origami polyhedra which I throughly recommend. It's the book that got me started on modular origami.
You are possibly wondering why I chose the title! Well after taking this at Birling Gap, we were sitting in the car afterwards talking about the strange patterns in the orange clouds! This was the only word my wife could think of to discribe them! Pauline does say some strange things sometimes though, bless her!
