John, When I stopped my truck and started taking pictures they walked into the woods. They are so white they were almost glowing. A friend of mine says they eat from his hand so the next time I see him I'll ask about the eyes.
Bob, I have no real plans this weekend, as of right now any time would be fine. The picture of the monocot if from where I showed you the Platanthera lacera last year.
Turtle, Google Asa Gray and his quest for Shortia galacifolia. It is a very interestring story. The plants that I photographed were planted by Elizabeth White in her garden at Whitesbog.
