Wildlife and Water Flowers Along Forest Streams
Stream banks in quiet forests provide rich habitats where wild flora and timid forest animals meet. A slender young deer stands beside freshwater irises growing along the water edge. Moist soil near running streams allows damp-loving plants to produce striking flowers every spring.
Interesting Facts About Wild Irises
Wild irises, often called flag irises, have specialized petals called falls that droop downward to guide bumblebees toward nectar. The name iris comes from the ancient word for rainbow because these flowers occur in almost every color of the spectrum. Their thick root systems help anchor stream banks and prevent soil erosion during heavy rains.
