I've been doing all i can to ID this Carex. Everything i'm reading is pointing me to ID it as Carex pseudocyperus. It's growing in a natural bog that is overflow from one of the many springs on our part of Little Bearwallow Mountain. My friends have been doing some maintaining of the bog and selectively eliminating plants to produce a spectacular wetland designed garden. Nothing has been brought from outside sources. Just all plants transplanted from one area of the property to this area or vice versa. . . . #carexpseudocyperus #carex #grass #nativeplant #bog #wetlands #boggarden #swamp #plantidentificationhelp #plantidentification #wncmountains #southernappalachia #upperhickorynutgorge #blueridgemountains #gertonstrong #ilovegardening #ilovewhereilive #mountaingarden #shadeplants #shadegarden #woodland #woodlandplants #woodlandgarden (at Gerton, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPcZJeRDSnn/?utm_medium=tumblr

It's Rhododendron season here in the WNC mountains! Rhododendron maximum is one of several types of evergreen rhododendrons native the the Appalachian mountains. I believe it's the last of the native evergreen rhodies to bloom here. These understory 'shrubs' can get as high as 32 ft. Around here they are huge! Much of the area around my house and property is covered with these impressive shrub-trees. They grow so abundantly that their leaves block enough sunlight from reaching the ground so other plants can't grow. They and Mountain Laurel are also a primary source for fuel in forest fires. Kind of like living kerosene plants. The fire marshall recommends we have neither plant growing within 30 feet of our houses if we want the chance to keep our houses from burning. I still have a lot to remove. This area is a temperate rainforest and we rarely see temps hit 90 F in the summer. This cool and moist climate is great for native rhodies. Unfortunately, excessive moisture from the past fall, winter, and spring have created perfect conditions for a root fungus to thrive and the rhododendrons are quickly becoming infected and dying. It's terrible to see so many in an area just be dead. Fortunately, rhododendron is great burning wood. It fires quite hot and i'll be using this dead wood to heat my house and studio this October-May! . . . #rhododendron #rhododendronmaximim #nativeplants #nativewildflowers #mountaingarden #mountainforest #ilovegardening #ilovewhereilive #inspiration #maker #wncmountains #southernappalachia #blueridgemountains #gertonstrong #shrubs #evergreen (at Gerton, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCc2W9FjVzE/?igshid=1vui25h2m9baz
