  Stacy, I was reading an old post from you on campion. Two weeks ago we were on Skyline Drive and saw an ivory color flower shaped like an upside down cup, about as big around as a pinky finger. It looked a bit like this campion, only without those little white flowers tucked up in the cup. Do you know what it was that we saw?

    Karen, I wish I did — sounds pretty. If you have some pictures to share, I can shoot them to the Northern Shenandoah Valley Master Gardener Association or the Virginia Native Plant Society.
