Day 180: A wildflower of the low-elevation forest, Synthyris reniformis (Snow Queens) emerges in early to mid-Spring. Less than six inches tall, this plant's scalloped basal leaves and hairy stems are distinctive, as are its pale lavender flowers, each of which bears two purple-tipped stamens. In Pack Forest, it can be found growing in the disturbed soil at the edges of roads and trails.
