Another common wildflower on our hill is the "Fiery Pink". It's fiery red flower gives color to an otherwise drab, brown woodland. The fiery pink, also known as the catchfly, has sticky surfaces that catch crawling, nectar-stealing insects. However, it does not catch flying insects it needs for pollination. The word, pink, in the name is somewhat deceptive because it refers to the family not the flower color.
