Some unusual plants from East TN.

Went back to my grandparents today to get some herping in and to take pics of some of the unusual plants we found while in the woods.

First these are Trillium. We found a red one the other day that is more unusual than the yellows.

These are called Voilet Wood Sorrel, they may look like clovers but they are not related.

This is a Spoted Wintergreen and endangered species of plant from this area, its cool though that we found around 10 seperate plants through the woods.
