Gerardia at Sunview Lake


Gerardia

There's a field on the Sunview Lake part of this run that is part of a housing development that was dirt for most of the Summer. Then nature took over with wind and water and made a home for many of the wildflowers I've been talking about for the last month like Goldenrods, Sericas, Fleabanes, Rabbit Tobacco and Horse Nettle. Today I discovered a Gerardia in the same field that's pictured above. It's a host plant for the Common Buckeye caterpillar that you can see in the back and in the next post. Also I saw a St Andrew's Cross out here that was more in the woods than the field but is a first sighting for here.
