This is where I spent my day yesterday.
That is the Jacob’s
There is a lovely waterfall to see if you hike up the mountain. I didn’t hike up there today though, so no pictures. You can see it at their website linked above if you’d like.
I took lots of pictures of plants while we walked around. I don’t know what most of them are yet. I really need to work on my identification skills, but here are a few I recognize.
This is a Pawpaw tree (Asimina). You can see the dark purple flowers here. They’ll turn into fruits soon.
This is Dog Hobble (Leucothoe D. Don) I’ve heard it’s called this because a hunter’s dog will try to run through it when on the chase only to get all tangled up in the stems.
There was loads of Mountain Laurel (Kalmia latifolia L.) Although they weren’t flowering quiet yet.
There were also quite a few dogwoods (Cornus) along the river bank. So lovely, you don’t see the branches at first so they just look like white flowers floating in the air.
There were lots of Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron) trees as well. Here is a flower and some leaves that the tree decided to drop onto my lunch plate.
And lots of Rhododendron (Rhododendron L.) Which I’m not particularly fond of: P
