You will see that the bright gold rose has a
garden-friend walking along the edges of the petals. The small red back
of the ladybug (or ladybird) is always happy sight among flowers, where
they help a gardener keep the plants free from the nuisance of various
small, damaging pests - though on the elegance of a rose they often look
like cheerful, misplaced buttons sewn to an evening gown!

Parnassia grandifolia (Celastrales - Celastraceae)
Despite its common name, Parnassia grandifolia (Celastrales - Celastraceae)
is not a grass, but a perennial herb, forming clusters of slightly
succulent, shiny leaves. Its large, white flowers with green veins and
bright orange anthers are really beautiful. Parnassia grandifolia is
native to central and south eastern US. It grows in alkaline seeps and
is an indicator of rich, old forest.
