Towns Co. - Mountain Seeps Fall 2024 Visits |
All Text & Images: Copyright (2024) |
| Early October 2024 I hadn't visited the Seeps since July, and wanted to see how the fall blooms were coming along. |
|
 |
|
| Appalachian Turtlehead (Chelone obliqua) This was the last remaining flower on any of the plants here. |
|
 |
|
| Kidney-Leaf Grass of Parnassus, aka Appalachian Grass of Parnassus (Parnassia asarifolia), one of two Parnassia species that grow here. |
|
 |
|
| Large-Leaf Grass of Parnassus (Parnassia grandifolia), the rarer of the two species that grow here. These bloom earlier than the other, so were a little past their prime. |
