Just as the adjective intricate has many synonyms, Dodecatheon meadia has several common names. When I first discovered this lovely wildflower as a child one early spring, my mother called it Shooting Star. It is also known as American Cowslip, Indian Chief, Rooster Heads and Pink Flamingo Plant. I still prefer Shooting Star!
Its dainty and delicate bloom is also quite ornate.

They are a native wildflower of the primula family. I purchased this one from a trusted grower at Seabright Gardens (Brooks, OR) at a local garden fair. http://www.sebrightgardens.com/ I have yet to place it, because I want it to be in just the right spot where it will thrive and I will see it right away next spring!
