NEcology #66 - Late Summer Jewels

Just because forest ephemerals have long since withered and the leaves on the trees and leathery and nearly ready to change color, doesn't mean there aren't still magnificent blooms awaiting tired eyes. Spiranthes and many species of Gentian are late Summer and early Fall specialists! Excuse a few rants and my misplaced confidence, there is plenty of eye candy to be seen!
Species of interest:
Spiranthes ochroleuca - "Yellow Ladies' Tresses"
Gentianopsis crinita - "Greater Fringed Gentian"

Also subbed from Reddit and enjoying this video as a first introduction to your content 🌻 definitely keep at it 🤗 I love this style of botany discussion - it’s very comfy

You took a lot of footage last year, I'm jealous! Bet you're out there already capturing those spring ephemerals. Best of luck

Oh yes! I've got some interesting things already in my queue, this was one of the last days filming in 2023.
