A selection of late summer wildflowers growing in the riparian zone along the Monongahela River at the Friendship Hill National Historic Site.
From top: Paleleaf woodland sunflower (Helianthus strumosus), also known as pale-leaved sunflower, distinguished by long leaf petioles and a pale leaf underside; common sneezeweed (Helenium autumnale), a water-loving aster whose dried leaves were once used to make snuff; cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis), whose scarlet, five-lobed flowers draw hummingbirds as pollinators; the closely-related great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), which early settlers once used as a treatment for syphilis (wishful thinking); and blue mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum), or wild ageratum, a native aster that has become popular as a garden plant.
As a note, about a dozen sunflowers call NC-WV - SW PA home and they readily hybridize, often complicating identification. Pale-leaved sunflower has a tall, branching structure up to 7 feet in height and dense clusters of large flowers. In addition to long petioles and a pale leaf underside, this sunflower has a smooth stem with a whitish bloom to it. It's a very beautiful mid-to-late summer aster and one of my favorite wildflowers of Central Appalachia.

Taken the same day as the previous post, this was a palm-leaf mistflower (Conoclinium dissectum) patch. They are native to southern North America wherever there are waterways, plains and mesas, and mesquite and creosote bush-mesquite communities. Flowers bloom during April–November. Because they contain alkaloids, they are poisonous to herbivores, however, male queen butterflies will convert these alkaloids into pheromones to attract a female, then they pass the toxin as a “nuptial gift” to the female making the eggs unpalatable to predators. #plant #plants #flower #flowers #wildflowers #wildflower #texasplants #texasplant #txplants #txnature #mistflower #mistflowers #aster #asters #texasnativeplants #texasnature #nature #flora #plantae #angiosperms #vascularplant #tracheophyta #asterids #eudicots #asterales #asteraceae #conoclinium #conocliniumdissectum #palmleafmistflower (at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjMlpXKimn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The words I found on Google most of the words in my Moodboard Picture Edits are from things I find on the internet so the rights go to the original people I sometimes mix my own the pictures are mine so I thought it would be funny to have Gerry trying flirt with my OC Character Peta Mistflower but Chris Mclean doesn't like what's going on so he beats him up because he thinks Gerry flirting with him when he's not Gerry gets mad because he wants his answer from Peta Mistflower.

Photos from a late summer bike ride on the Mon River Trail. With autumn just around the corner, the climatic, life-sustaining ceremonies of the season have taken on a frantic, bittersweet urgency, from the proliferation of late summer blooms to the frantic chirrups of insects in search of mates before they succumb to the first frost of October. As the deep greens of summer fade and begin to sacrifice themselves to a fiery self-immolation, I salute Nature’s relentless push to plant the seeds of next year’s renewal.
From top: broadleaf arrowhead (Sagittaria latifolia), also known as duck-potato and wapato, an attractive aquatic plant whose edible tuber was an important source of starch for Native Americans; great blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica); a showy relative of cardinal flower with blue, split-lip flowers; blue mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum), also known as wild ageratum and blue boneset, an unusual late summer aster with disc flowers only; tall coreopsis (Coreopsis tripteris), also known as tall tickseed, a grand, stately perennial up to 8 feet tall with distinctive tripartite leaves; a goldenrod soldier beetle (Chauliognathus pensylvanicus) navigating a wingstem flower (Verbesina alternifolia); northern spicebush (Lindera benzoin), a colonizing shrub whose luminous yellow leaves in fall contrast with its brilliant-red, aromatic berries; and pale-leaved sunflower ( Helianthus strumosus), a perennial sunflower whose leaves are mostly opposite in arrangement with long petioles and pale undersides.
