Carolina Wren

This stocky songster resides as far north as Iowa, Illinois, and Connecticut in the breeding season, but in winter it withdraws farther south to the states bordering the Gulf of Mexico. It is a bird of the thicket and undergrowth, preferring to nest in holes and crannies. Unlike the House Wren, it does not ordinarily use the structures of man for nesting sites. Most birds of South Carolina sing only in the mating month, but the Carolina Wren may be heard pouring forth a melody every month of the year. His rich, whistled notes seem to say tea-kettle, tea-kettle or sweet-william, sweet-william.

Carolina Jessamine

The yellow Jessamine is also known as an evening trumpet-flower and Carolina woodbine. This woody climber, with its glossy, evergreen foliage and bright, deliciously fragrant flowers, is a characteristic feature of moist southern lowlands, and is often planted to cover banks, fences, and trellises. Beginning in early spring, the hanging stems of the vine are covered with masses of golden-yellow flowers. The blossoms, an inch or more long, are funnel-shaped, opening to five overlapping lobes. The fruit is made up of two joined sections, each containing a great many winged seeds.

This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood® First Day Cover for the 20¢ South Carolina: Carolina Wren and Carolina Jessamine stamp issued on April 14, 1982.
