This is some sort of wildflower found in a small woodland clearing in the hilly transition between the midlands and piedmont.
Hi Heather,
this is an attractive native woodland plant in the mint family called the elliptic-leaved skullcap. An odd name for a nice wildflower. Scutellaria elliptica.
Sincerely,
Steve Hill, Ph.D. Botanist, SCNPS
