Looking for a quick afternoon excursion in early October, I remembered the
Gentians I had seen along FSR 163 (Popcorn Crk Rd) back in the fall of 2019:

Gentiana_decora
Appalachian Gentian, aka Showy Gentian (Gentiana decora)


Gentiana_saponaria
Soapwort Gentian (Gentiana saponaria) (?)
See next photo...

I previously thought these were all G. decora here, but many have the large calyx lobes of G.
saponaria.   They are all growing together, and there may be some interbreeding going on(?)
