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.
