Here is a rush that is easy to find. It’s path rush (Juncus tenuis). Path rush typically is found on trails
because it tolerates compacted soil.
This path rush is along the trail that runs by the old horse shelter at CleggGarden. Photo taken June 15, 2015.
This striking display of red-yellow flowers is along the
driveway entering CleggGarden. It is Spigelia marilandica, sometimes called
Indian Pink. This is native to some of the
southern states of the US
but not this part of Indiana..
I will surmise that this is a blue form of Penstemon
cobaea. Compare it to the pale flowered
Penstemon on the high slope pictured in the post of May 31.
