Artic Starflower the small and delicate beauty from the wood.
Oops...I bit late with the blooming Friday post but here are some picture from a walk in the big old forest.

Starflower - Skogsstjärna in swedish is the same as Moonshine in english I mean the common term for home-distilled alcohol, especially in places where this practice is illegal. Just some unnecessery knowledge :-)

Arctic Starflower Trientalis europaea is a plant in the Primulaceae family, called by the common name chickweed wintergreen or Arctic starflower. It is a small herbaceous perennial plant with one or more whorls of obovate leaves. The leaves take on a copper hue in late summer. The solitary white flowers (1-2 cm diameter, usually with 6-8 petals) appear in midsummer. Trientalis europaea occurs throughout boreal regions of Europe and Asia, but is largely replaced by Trientalis borealis in correponding habitats in North America. Wikipedia
It is Blooming Friday and Katarina our host have a post about seed and seedheads.
Have a great weekend

Ursnyggt collage av det som naturen bjuder på!
Du lyckas hålla ihop "temat" på dina inlägg, vilket gör det hela trevligt och inspirerande.
Trevlig kväll! /Bea
Beautiful wildflower. It reminds me of one of our native wildflowers, Grass-of-Parnassus, which has a similar very special kind of beauty.
What a pretty little flower Tyra. Have a good weekend !
Lovely forest shots ... all the moss and the light... your portrait of the star flower is beautiful! I just had a forest walk too... they are magic this time of year. Carol
Bättre sent än aldrig! Den lilla blomman borde jag väl känna till, men jag gör nog inte det ändå... Väldigt söt! Får ta en skogstur och leta.
Lovely and peaceful ... a fellow fern, moss and woods walker here, Tyra :)
Interesting to learn about this flower. And what beautiful detail on its petals.
Det var en vacker liten en! Ha det gott!
Thanks for showing us this lovely wildflower and the meaning of the name. There are still people making moonshine not far from where I live, quite illegally! Thanks too for showing the woodland, I can't get enough woods shots! :-)

love the word boreal!
Tyra, I love the star flower...It really does resemble its evening primrose relatives. There is so much to see when we take a walk! gail
What a pretty little bloom! Thanks for sharing your collage of moss, berries & blooms. That is really lovely. :)
What a dainty little flower.
Godmorgon Tyra.. vilken vacker liten stjärna som möter mig så här på morgonkvisten.. den är jättesöt, finns så mycket i vår natur som verkligen är värda att titta närmare på om man kan böja sig.. *ler*. Önskar dig en bra dag.. själv ska jag iväg på föreläsningar.. fortbildning för oss lärare när eleverna har ledigt.. =). Moa
