A fantastic shot with very interesting details,dear Carol !!! Love the way you are conserving the natural resources....as plants have their own role and entity..(F/V)

Thank you so very much, Latha. I fear as we humans expand, the "natural" world contracts.

Carol Senske replied:

Gentians used to be common, found in almost every wetland area around, but building, roads, over-picking (you name it) and a lack of knowledge are causing it to disappear along with other gentian types. Fringes gentians are lovely - haven't found one in over ten years. There is a chance you might have some in a wetland area that is not overly traveled.

Description:

This is a lovely wildflower that intrigues me. It never opens up, always looks like a bud, and I watch the bumblebees crawl into the flower and disappear then crawl back out.

Closed Gentians are native to North America, especially in our Northeastern corridor, and bloom in late summer. Here we see them in late August and early September. This picture was taken August 24, 2012, at Green Lane Reservoir in East Greenville, Pennsylvania, USA.

These plants are considered "threatened" in the states of New York and Maryland. Although I can find them in Pennsylvania, it does take some looking. If you find some please don't pick them.

The crab spider seems to have found a good hiding place to wait for unsuspecting bugs.
