Scarlet Gilia, Gilia aggregata: Grows one to two feet high topped with bright red trumpet like flowers in late summer.  Usually biennial, the first year producing a basal leave cluster, flowering the next year.  Great for fall color.  Full sun or partial shade.  Grows in open sunny locations or open pine forests.
	Serviceberry, Amelanchier alnifolia: A common shrub in our area often growing to 10' tall and fairly broad.  Puts on a wonderful display of white flowers in spring followed with edible fruit in late summer.
	Shooting Star,  Dodecatheon sp. : Wonderful little spring flowers that recurve like a cyclamen.  I only have a few this year and I'm not sure how large they will be.  Definitely next year I will have more.
	Starry Soloman's Seal, Smilacina stellata: Only a few.  A nice plant for the shade, grows up to 2' with alternating parallel veined leaved off an upright stem, terminating in a cluster of small white flowers.
	Strawberry,  Fragaria virginiana: A good ground cover for restoration but in the garden they can really take over when given space and sun.  Small but wonderfully flavorful  fruit.  3-5" high. Can be used to stabilize a bank.
	Twin Flower, Linnaea borealis: A compact flowering ground cover for shady and moist situations. Carpets of these can be found in local moist forests. White flowers with pink throats in June.  A bit slow growing but wonderful once established.
	Woodland Star or Prairie Star,  Lithophragma species   A  small plant in the wild but grows considerably larger in a flower bed when given space.  Interesting small white flowers on a stalk that can be up to 15 inches high.  Blooms in early spring with a fairly long blooming period.  Nice in a woodland setting when planted in a group.  Easy to grow.

	Blue Violet,  Hook Violet  Viola adunca: A nice little violet for the shady open woodland floor.  Grows well in a garden when it gets less competition than in the forest.  Found throughout our area. I also have a variant of this violet that has white stripes (pictured) on its petals. One of a kind!
	Yellow Violet or Stream Violet, Viola glabella: A common violet from our area found in dense shade growing around steam banks and other moist places.  It needs shade and water but when given a bit more sun it grows into a nice sized plants with many more blooms.
	Bog Violet or Kidney Leaved Violet, Viola nephrophyla: I found these plants growing in full sun on a Canadian lake shore in very damp ground.  If kept damp they grow into a tight clump of foliage just covered (as you can see) with purple flowers.  One of my favorite plants for a sunny damp location.
	Birdsfoot Violet, Viola pedata: Not a local violet but from the eastern states.  A beautiful violet just the same with large violet/purple flowers and interesting cut leaves.  One of the more showy violets.
	Viola Riviniana,  Not avaiable Sorry,  that's the only name I know this wonderful violet by.  A native of England that has followed my wife's family all over this country.  Very beautiful flowers on a compact plant. Will spread but never becomes bothersome.  Sun or partial shade.  Rare, I don't see these in the market place anywhere.
	Transylvania Voilet, Viola jooi:   This violet is from Romania as the name would suggest.  Beautiful large flowers in pale pink.
	Viola Sororia, Haven't grown these long but they are a common violet in the industry, not native here.  Very beautiful flowers.  We also have a speckled variety.
