It's always a thrill to come upon these lovely ephemeral wildflowers!" See quotes from the authoritative "Wildflowers Tennessee, the Ohio Valley and the Southern Appalachians" by Horn, Cathcart, Hemmerly & Duhl: "Trout lilies have been called 'living phosphorous sinks,' because their roots retrieve phosphorus from the soil and transfer it to the leaves, making it available to herbivores, such as deer."

Epicurean Kentuckian: Ramune Drinks 2015-04-12 - Charleston, SC - Photo by Pen. Colorful sodas with unique bottles, found while on Spring Break in South Carolina. Wikipedia says, "Ramune is widely known for the distinctive design of its bottle, often called Codd-neck bottles after the inventor, Hiram Codd. They are made of glass and sealed with a marble; the codd head is held in place by the pressure of the carbonation in the drink. To open the bottle, a device to push the marble inward is provided. The marble is pushed inside the neck of the bottle where it rattles around while drinking. Therefore, the drinks are sometimes called marble soda outside of Japan."
