Skinny Dip Falls – September 28, 2018
There were some questions on the walk about the two different “Mountain Fetterbushes”. In the pictures below you can see the difference between the deciduous Eubotrys recurva, which we saw on our walk, and the evergreen Pieris floribunda, seen along the Parkway near Graveyard Fields.
