Along the Little Miami Inbetween hamilton and clermont co is a section that maintains conglomerate mudstone layer and a lot of mud banks close enough to mudflats that you still get some classic mudflat species and riparian gravel bar species.

The first is the winged monkey flower(Mimulus alatus) , known for winged squared of stems, though since Ohio gets both, if you need to collect seeds for bioswale forbes and want to differentiate them when the stem is brown, the peduncle, aka main stem that holds/bares a flower or a fruit attached to the stem, is almost sessile or near sessile, aka still there but close to not existing where as Allegheny is elongate.

a gravel bar species requiring full sun is Hibiscus moscheutos or the swamp rose mallow, it's about as common as our other native Hibiscus laevis or the halberd leafed mallow; this species pictured has more common smaller colonies with pink flowers on average with what most assume as a non deeply lobed leaf differing from a halberd lobed white flower with taller plants on average and larger colonies.

Wouldn't be a good gravel bar without falls redest sedum, Ditch stone crop! or is it a sedum really???, while we used to assume based on morphological features it is no longer placed in the genera Sedum and is Penthorum sedoides a non succulent water loving species that actually has found it's self as a member of the saxifrage order. It is one of two species that I know of in the genera, and is associated with it's own family as of now. It is also the only member of the genus within the United States. Side note: As a member or the saxifrage order I don't even know if this species utilizes CAM to be honest and it wouldnt benefit it if you think about it.

Lindernia dubia

false pimpernel

Associated with the mudflats, it's funny because people call this and many others the mudflat ephemerals because they are brief and seasonal inbetween flood stages. These always look like a monkey flower at first glance before you know the species.

Eclipta prostrata

Mudflat false daisy, a riparian and swale species but also very common on mudflats.

Persicaria pensylvanica or pensylvania smart weed, is a robust flowering species that forms semi erect inflorescence that are peppered pink and white. and easy to differentiate when you look at a non frimbrate connected ocrea that sheathes both stem and petiole. you can see invasive Persicaria longiseta or oriental bristled ladies thumb with frimbrate ocrea in background :( spicy flowers on our natives less spicy on the non natives.

Wildflower Walk ?

Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you all well. I apologize for not posting for a while. It has been a weird summer for sure with the heat and drought. I was busy with the garden picking sweet corn and green beans right up until August 17. Somehow I managed to get 455 ears of sweet corn in the freezer, and thanks to the ‘Provider’ green beans, 34 quarts of green beans. Of course, not all the…

Rook Hunt — language of flowers

white dahlia — symbolizes innocence, purity and new birth (if the person gives dahlias, there is a slightly different message, namely: I admire you, you are beautiful (not just outwardly, the message is more based on inner beauty*), I am happy with you), and white dahlia means greatness

white chrysanthemum (rook holds flower) — sincere and pure love, honesty, truth. chrysanthemum also signify death and rebirth. this could be a reference to the fact that rook used to study at savanaclaw (i.e. died) and went to pomfiore (i.e. reborn)

limonium — eternity and "unchanging heart" (roughly speaking, it's devotion, but the message here goes much deeper)

miscanthus chinensis — vitality, power

pink carnation - gratitude, elegance, warm heart, also pink carnations indicate good manners (especially with regard to courtship)

persicaria pensylvanica (buckwheat family) — symbolise a lover

white roses — loyalty, purity, love, literally say 'you are beautiful and perfect'

p.s. RookVil moment from Ignihide's story is a perfect fit for this value (you can see more HERE)

I’ve likely seen many others and just couldn’t identify them, but there are a lot I’ve never seen growing wild. What I’m hoping is that some of the native species I have in my garden will make their way to the nearby ravine. If I get around to it, though, I might just take a walk with some Asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed) seeds in the fall. They certainly seem to successfully germinate in my garden whether I want them to or not (don’t have space for them to go crazy). Can’t see why they wouldn’t in a natural swamp area.

Pinkweed ?

Persicaria pensylvanica

Aka. Pennsylvania smartweed

This member of the buckwheat family is native to North America. It's been introduced to Europe and South America. They like moist environments and can be found near ditches, waste ground and bodies of water.

The Meskwaki used pinkweed tea to treat diarrhea, a leaf poultice was used for hemorrhoids. Leaf tea was used to stop bleeding from the mouth and post partum healing. Tea from the flower heads were used to treat epilepsy. Iroquois used it for horse cholic.

More photographs from Woodman fen,

Persicaria pensylvanica,

Persicaria spp. can be hard to tackle. There are plenty of morphological traits to look at when trying to differentiate species. For this one the main things to look at are: how long is the seta? are there black spots on the center of each leaf, how glandular is the top of the stem, is the inflorescence elongate, is the inflorescence nodding or imbricate and erect.

For this species we see the seta is not elongate nor does the seta terminate with tenuous fibers taking out from Persicaria longiseta.

It is not glandular up top, taking it away from federally threatened Persicaria careyi. Not to mention that it is also not large enough nor nodding. The nodding aspect also removes the possibility of Persicaria lapathifolia

The lack of a black dot on the leaves removes the possibility of Persicaria maculosa, a non native annual.

and the species is clearly not forming a non-imbricate (not densely arranged) elongate inflorescence Persicaria hydropiper

leaving only Persicaria pensylvanica as our culprit.

The two bottom photos are that of a section of a forbe swale containing that of Ohio Goldenrod and Spotted Joe Pye and a photo of the Symphyotrichum firmum, or glossy leaved swamp aster, formerly part of the swamp aster complex. Known for forming massive colonies, having smaller, but more flowers on average with paler white colored ligules(ray or tongue pseudo-petaloid flowers in the composite/aster family) compared to the blue of swamp aster as well as glossier adaxial(top) leaf surfaces.
