Perry’s Catchfly

A patch of white flowers with darker stripes.

One “locally common” wildflower – if your location is a drier, high elevation meadow – is Perry’s Catchfly (Silene parryi). They have a distinctive look, with a striped calyx protecting the petals. This flower also looks like it has numerous white petals, but it really only has five! Each petal divides into 4 rounded lobes with 2 smaller petal-like appendages at the center of each petal.
