Coontree Trail – May 19, 2025

Perfect weather and a great walk. The trail and plants seem to have survived last year’s Tropical Storm with little damage – and we now have two Orange-fruited Horse Gentian plants! Photography by Ken Borgfeldt, Penny Longhurst, Jim Poling, & Joe Standaert. Botanical plant names seem to change almost every day, but for now we use those approved by ITIS, the Integrated Taxonomic Information System. Plants that are non-native to North America are indicated by an asterisk (*) placed after the species name. Click on any picture to zoom & enter the slide show.
