GRASS OF PARNASSUS FAMILY 



Each lovely petal is streaked with many pale 

 green lines, guide paths for the insects that are 

 invited to the feast of nectar. The whole is 

 elevated high on a fragile stem. Thousands of 

 these stems spring from the Parnassian bog. 

 From the railroad embankment the swamp seems 

 but a wide spread of leucanthous allurement."
