partridge berry

here is mitchella repens of the family rubiaceae:

this little plant is native to the United States and can be found from Hudson Bay to Texas and all along the eastern seaboard. this particular bloom was happened upon along South Lake at Mule Jail, in April of '07. not much to be said about this flower, other than it is pretty. i'm sure there are a few people that could say a lot more about it, but i am not counted among them.

What an amazing flower

There' nothing like this in the UK as far as I'm aware. Any idea what purpose all the hairs on the petals serve?

Keep up the good work.
