2010 09 16 We decided on Bass River again because there are open areas here, with Gentians and Ladies' Tresses (Ladies Tresses are orchids).

Even though it rained while we were on our adventure it was fun, and still so many plants blooming. Cardinal Flower, Everlasting Pea, Chicory, Gerardia, White Campion, Eyebane, Hoary Vervain, Sleepy Catchfly, Bouncing Bet, and More.

Oh, those beautiful Closed Gentians and the elegant spiral of the Nodding Ladies' Tresses. Cool turtle shell, well, maybe not for the turtle. The caterpillar's feet look like flowers and the lovely Monkey Flower is dancing in a purple gown. We certainly did see a lot of wildflowers. Your photos amaze me! M
