Despite its undignified name, Muddy Creek is a lovely mountain stream that normally runs fast and clear on its steep descent to Cheat River. But after a week of heavy rain in NC-WV, the stream looked a bit murky yesterday. Not even the sediment washing away from the mountains dims its beauty in my eyes. And the enchanting, moss-encrusted forest along its bank holds its own late summer treasures.

From top: great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), which pairs beautifully with cardinal flower to provide late summer color in a native wildflower garden; white wood aster (Eurybia divaricata), which is the most common of the shade-loving white asters in this area; crooked-stemmed aster (Symphyotrichum prenanthoides), also known as zigzag aster, whose clasping, spatula-shaped leaves distinguish it from big-leaf aster, another woods-loving aster with lavender flowers; blue-stemmed goldenrod (Solidago caesia), whose spreading, yellow-flowered stems provide stunning late-season color in a native wildflower garden; an intensely-green collage of moss, woodland stonecrop (Sedum ternatum), Christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) and heartleaf foamflower (Tiarella cordifolia), which I am trying hard to reproduce in my own native wildflower shade garden; the shaggy-maned stem of Coker's Amanita (Amanita cokeri), one of the most impressive mushrooms of Appalachia's summer forests; beech-drops (Epifagus virginiana), a parasitic plant that grows and subsists on beach tree roots; the bright red berries of false Solomon's seal (Maianthemum racemosum); yellow jewelweed (Impatiens pallida), whose explosive seed pods give the plant its other common name, pale touch-me-not; and narrow-leaved tick-trefoil (Desmodium paniculatum), also known as panicled tick-trefoil, a late summer pea whose sticky seed pods commonly hitch rides on shoes and boots.

This pretty little flower is named Panicled Tick Trefoil. The green little “ticks” are its seed. #natureislife🍃 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci2uymtOYmt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@wildfloweroftheday a classic example of when you ask a professor and they says it looks like Showy tick trefoil

and you look at them and go ^ uhh the common name for like 10+ tick trefoil are also “showy tick trefoil” pls deliniate.

^_^ i mean I just want to make a strange database about all of the sp. listed in indiana plant atlas on tumblr with key descriptions eventually and then people can just do a quick archive search via tagged posts for the genus and be like “yeah, thats the correct species.”

but yeah dude aster diversity is the other can of worms that Id like to grow to know. the diversity is so hard to get through but I low key want to make a poster for classrooms with them. and at least have a tumblr with every aster sp. i come across. stuffs gnarly. one day Ill attempt to tackle sedges and bryophytes properly but rn asters are my target.
