I was so surprised to see these beautiful Solomon Seal wildflowers growing on the side of the road. I had only seen them before at the Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary. (Click on blog link for other photo.)

“Solomon’s Seal is known for its graceful and arching stems, which can grow up to 2 to 4 feet in height. The plant features attractive alternate, elliptical leaves that are typically green but can sometimes have a bluish-green hue. One of the distinct characteristics of Solomon’s Seal is its delicate white or greenish-white flowers that hang underneath the arching stems.”

“Its name “Solomon’s Seal” is derived from the legend that King Solomon, known for his wisdom, used the plant’s seal-like markings on its rhizomes to create his royal seal. In various folklore and mythology, the plant is associated with protection, wisdom, and feminine energy.”

Have you ever seen a Solomon Seal wildflower?
