Catesby Trillium (Trillium catesbaei) |
During a family vacation in the Carolinas, I had the opportunity to visit the
Anne Springs Close Greenway, a private Nature Preserve in Fort Mill, SC.
I was there early Friday morning and when we arrived home Friday evening, I headed to the Brush Creek Preserve near my home in WV. It's interesting to see the variety and similarities that 2400 feet elavation difference and 200 miles separation makes. At Anne Springs, I saw Catesby Trillium (Trillium catesbaei) along with several others.
The whole time I was in SC, I was worried I would miss peak bloom at Brush Creek. But, I hit it perfect this evening. Below are WV pctures
