Today, I took a brief trip to one of my favorite natural places, the Eva Chandler Heritage Preserve in upstate Greenville County, South Carolina. The Soapwort Gentian had just began to bloom as well as some Nodding Ladies'-tresses orchids. Beautiful fall weather and some beautiful fall wildflowers...

At the Ponthieva racemosa locality, we found thousands of plants, but almost all were past bloom and were producing seed. Fortunately, there were three plants that still had a couple of flowers left. We are spending the weekend along the Atlantic Coastal Plain. This is a great time for fall wildflowers, including native orchids. Our first stop was the Francis Marion National Forest near Charleston, South Carolina.
