Sabatia angularis - Rose-pink or, sometimes, common marsh-pink

The first pretty thing that caught my eye when I stepped from the shady woods into the power cut.

Tonight, I took a practice run up the lower portion of the Deckers Creek Rail Trail to get my legs back for an eventual full circuit from Morgantown to Reedsville and back. The grade on this part of the trail is about 5%, although it gets steeper on the final ascent up the mountain from Greer to Masontown. Anyway, it’s a gorgeous stretch of rail trail for a bike ride, if you’re willing to put in the effort. You’ll always be rewarded by a few treasures along the way, both natural and mad-made. Tonight’s haul: rose pink (Sabatia angularis), a meltingly-beautiful summer gentian; Allegheny monkeyflower (Mimulus ringens), which allegedly reveals the face of a laughing primate from a certain angle; and pale-leaved sunflower (Helianthus strumosus), perhaps the grandest of the woodland sunflowers.

More from Lake Hiwassee Oklahoma short grass.

Liatris squarrulosa var. squarrulosa(stems hairy) with some interesting bracting going on, the clear differense between this individual and that Liatris compacta( formerly L. squarrulosa var. compacta) is the colony forming and has glabrous stems similar to stems like the L. squarrulosa var. glabrata and has usually one flower per stem . The flora of North american flora book states these differenses but i’ve heard the colony forming is somewhat important as well.

“Heads usually borne singly (each immediately subtended by relatively broad, foliaceous bracts longer than involucres); stems glabrous

Liatris compacta”

“Heads in racemiform to spiciform arrays; stems glabrous or puberulent-villous”

Liatris squarrulosa”
