Question
Could you possibly tell me the name of this wild flower plant found in Georgia's General Coffee State Park, in a dried up creek bed. The patch was almost a full acre in size. The sweet smell this flower put out very strong and very sweet. I would post a close up but we can only post one photo, sorry.
Answer
Dear ETLOVE, good morning. You have photographed Saururus cernuus (Lizard's-tail), a native wetland plant in the Saururaceae. This species is characterized by the slender array of white flowers that drupe over at the apex. Best wishes.
