They are around 4 inches tall (the leaves). Growing in a moderately shaded area of decidious forest area (I didnt see any around the conifers). The soils are wet, heavy with organics for the first inch or two then sandy or loamy. These are growing all over the bottom of a moraine area.
The picture I attempted of the inside of the flower turned out blurry enough to cause pain when viewing.

The outside maroon wraps a bit inside, then a strip of white, then goes deep maroon again, kinda star shaped and it has very fine, yellow, fuzzy, pollen tipped spikes that reach almost 1/2 way to the outside of the flower (hope that makes sense). Any clues? Wild guesses?
Sheesh... Apparently GeoFreebie only allows 4mb data transfer an hour so it might get locked up once in a while....
